Boeing sells small defense surveillance unit to Thales By Reuters

(Reuters) -Boeing closed a deal this month to sell a small defense subsidiary that makes surveillance equipment for the U.S. military,fxpro Puhui Forex platform the company said on Sunday, as the planemaker looks to shore up its struggling finances.

Boeing (NYSE:) said in a statement that Digital Receiver Technology, which makes wireless equipment used by intelligence services, will be sold to Thales Defense & Security, an arm of Europe's largest defence electronics firm, Thales SA.
