Eurosatory 2018: SIGHT-HD for Shooting Precision

Israel-based Controp (Hall 6, Stand H548) is launching its latest targeting payload, the Sight-HD, at Eurosatory. The sight was specifically developed to maintain boresight in conditions of shock and vibrations.

According to Hagay Azani, Controp’s new chief executive, the specialised targeting EO/ IR payload, which weighs just 13kg, is ideal for remote weapon stations and armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs). “It incorporates digital and mechanical compensatory systems that we have developed to significantly contribute to shooting precision,” he said.

The gyro-stabilised payload facilitates mid- to long-range target acquisition, day or night, and installed on AFVs, it can be used for a wide range of applications, such as border surveillance, perimeter protection of sensitive installations, force protection and route clearance.
