Saab has placed a new order for the Senop AFCD TI smart sight
Senop has received an order from Saab for the delivery of the Senop AFCD TI smart sight. The order for the Senop AFCD TI underlines Senop´s ability to support a NATO country’s fighting capability in the modern battlefield.
Senop Advanced Fire Control Device Thermal Imager (AFCD TI) is one of the first intelligent sights on the market for the Carl-Gustaf® M4 and M3 weapons and the only system which integrates all performance-critical features into one casing, and it is qualified for both Carl-Gustaf M4 and M3 weapons.
Currently with high demand for military equipment, the capability to produce volumes of high-quality products is more and more valuable.
“For the past four-five years, Senop has grown significantly and that has allowed us to invest strongly into production capability and in research and development,” says Aki Korhonen, President of Senop.
“We are proud to support our customer with the Senop AFCD TI. The order we received is a clear indication and proof of our expertise and ability to deliver innovative solutions that meet our customer´s requirements and enhance operational firepower,” Korhonen continues.
For the Carl-Gustaf, the AFCD TI offers several performance-enhancing functionalities in one device. This is a significant difference compared to other solutions currently on the market, which utilize the traditional day sight and Clip-On night optics combination. The state-of-the-art optronics, ballistic calculation and communication with the most modern rounds result in extremely good first round hit probability for both moving and stationary targets. Depending on the conditions, the operator may use a day camera, a thermal camera, or a combined fusion image to detect, identify and recognize targets in the battlefield. The AFCD TI is the lightest fire control system for Carl-Gustaf on the market with all the capabilities mentioned above. The device weighs only 1.7 kg and is designed and built to meet the highest usability requirements.
Due to the contract and current climate, the end-customer and details of the transaction will remain undisclosed.
