Revue Thommen of Waldenburg, Switzerland, has signed a licensing agreement with Russian firm Transas for redesign and manufacture of the Transas helicopter searchlight system. The agreement, which Thommen announced at Heli-Expo 2010, covers exclusive sales and distribution rights worldwide (except in Russia) and transfer of all technical and design data and documentation to Thommen, which will also have complete design and production authority at its facility in Switzerland.

The licensing agreement came about because Transas found that the market for its searchlight was limited without certification by other than Russian aviation authorities. Thommen’s redesign of the searchlight–designated the TSL-1600–means that it “will be a Swiss-quality product with a Thommen part number and manufacturer’s nameplate,” according to the company.
