Quote These new night vision binoculars will equip the 21st RIMa and the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment (2nd REI) of Nîmes as part of the mission of the units of the 6th Light Brigade armoured early 2020 in the Sahel-Saharan band. The objective for 2020 is to supply the French Army with 3 179 ONYX night vision binoculars on the 3,519 ONYX night vision binoculars ordered by the Directorate-General for Armaments (DGA) for the benefit of the armed forces; the rest of the order will be delivered in 2021. Several thousand Additional copies are expected to be delivered by 2025. These night-vision binoculars will eventually equip all three armies. The main features of O-NYX night vision binoculars: - Length: 112 mm / Width: 75 mm / Height: 79 mm - Weight: 340 g - Technology: light intensification - Autonomy: more than 40 hours with battery or 25h with AA batteries 1.5 V. - Extra flat and close to the face profile, ultra-compact and very lightweight, for increased comfort for prolonged use - Wide field of view of 51° (compared to the usual 40°) that improves the perception of the environment and the mobility of the soldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 GLUAS Quote Army Research Lab scientists at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland are developing the micro-drones the same size as the Army’s 40 mm grenade, which are meant to be fired by the service’s standard M203 grenade launchers, service officials said Thursday. They have dubbed the new drones Grenade Launched Unmanned Aerial Systems, or GLUAS. /.../ Soldiers under attack from an unseen enemy could fire the GLUAS and almost instantly receive a “bird’s eye view” of the battlefield, said John Gerdes, a mechanical engineer working on the project. /.../ The Army is developing two versions of the GLUAS — one similar to a paraglider and the other designed like a helicopter that can hover, Gerdes said. Both are projected to fly up to 2,000 feet in the air for at least 90 minutes. Because the drones are similar in size, weight and shape to the Army’s standard grenades, they should easily fit into the standard kit combat soldiers carry, he said. Once launched, the drones spread their wings and their motor takes over allowing soldiers to control them using a joystick or other hand-held device, the service said. The camera sends a live video feed back to the soldiers on the ground from as far away as 2 kilometers. Gerdes said he envisions adding GPS receivers to the drones, allowing soldiers to identify the exact location of objects or persons observed from the air.

Quote As a direct-view optic, the 1-8×30 Active Reticle™ Fire Control provides everything you’d expect from a variable-power, first focal plane riflescope. When augmented with an overlaid digital display, however, it provides features unheard of in a traditional small arms fire control. /.../ The end result is Active Reticle™, which has been proven to increase hit percentage and decrease time to engage during /.../ Even in the case of a battery power loss, soldiers are left with an uncompromised 1-8x, direct-view optic and glass-etched reticle exceeding current capability. /.../ Hamilton said, “By combining a unity power 1-8x direct view optic utilizing a first focal plane, etched reticle, a 1km capable laser rangefinder, state of the art on-board ballistic engine, atmospheric sensor suite, and programmable active matrix micro-display overlaid onto the first focal plane, Active Reticle™ delivers a true multi-mission fire control enabling everything from CQB to designated marksmanship at the extents of the NGSW’s effective range.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Legion night vision system by this company - http://www.nightvision-cot.ru/ System consist of Falanga/Phalanx (MN-06) monocular NOD or Kogorta/Cohort binocular NODs on "Klin" mount that can be regulated in 3 ways. Monocular can be quickly switched from one eye to another, when NODs are flipped away they turn off automatically or by button/switch press. Kogorta can be folded away, each of tubes can be rotated out of the eye view. Automatic protection against flashes. Additionally close range focus lense can be mounted. There is a GoPro mount avaliable. Interesting for me - NODs are thermal imager compatable (SOT NT-03), gives thermal overlay capability, which is very rare for Russian night vision systems (IIRC Gerbnik is the only one i knew so far with this ability).
