Mumbai : Engineering major Larsen and Toubro (L&T) Tuesday announced it had submitted a joint proposal with US defence technology firm Raytheon for upgrading India’s T-72 tanks.
According to the proposal submitted earlier this month, in which L&T is the lead contractor, Raytheon will provide infrared imaging sights and electronics to improve the tank’s target accuracy and overall system lethality, the company said in a regulatory filing.
“L&T will provide fire control systems, sensors and will accomplish the final integration with customer support,” said a company statement.
“This beginning would lead to new avenues in Indian and global defence markets for both partners working together,” added L&T senior executive vice president M.V. Kotwal.
