By GlobalDataThe contract also covers provision for remote-control terminals, which will be added to the JIM-LR units already deployed by the country.
Work under the contract will be carried out at the company’s facility in Poitiers, France.
The JIM LR is a multifunction IR pair of binoculars designed to assist soldiers in long-range target detection, acquisition and intelligence-gathering missions at any time of day.
The binoculars feature day / thermal (3-5µm) vision, a global positioning system (GPS), interface cables, a tripod and portable monitor, a logistic container, and a remote operating system (ROS).
The handheld, self-powered binoculars are fully compliant with the French Army’s FELIN dismounted soldier system, and are also used by several Nato forces’ infantry, artillery, intelligence, forward observer, special-mission, border and coast guard units.
Around 9,000 JIM LR binoculars have been supplied to armies worldwide, including 2,000 for the French Armed Forces.
