OPTSYS 360° Local Situational Awareness System: ViPer system.

This system enables a 360° vision in an armoured vehicle :

  • Protection during troops embarking/disembarking
  • Protection during convoying from FOB to FOB
  • Intelligence gathering
  • Post event analysis (Like IED attack)
  • Pre-operation briefing
  • Training and simulation

Armoured Glasses: we propose a complete range of STANAG 4569 level 1 to 4 bullet proof bays and windows. We provide you with a complete structure : frame + glass + seal that can be directly integrated on vehicle.

Muzzle sight: the search for ever increasing accuracy for flat trajectory weapon systems has led to a more precise boresighting between the gun muzzle axis and the associated sight : we have developped those sights in order to cope with those specifications

Aiming sight: periscopic aiming sight series associated with a periscope. It is equipped with a x5 magnification channel and enables elevation aiming from -20 to 45° on the sight and on the periscope. It is designed to be conencted to a weapon elevation control.
