Product description

The Sabre II sight provides a comprehensive, combined Day/Night capability for Commanders and Gunners of small to medium AFVs. The sight is designed to fit within a very compact space envelope. It provides a magnified day channel and an image intensified night channel.

Sabre II is configured with a main mirror and head assembly, sight linkage 2:1 mechanism and body shell. The optical channels are generated by incorporating a magnified image intensified night channel plus a single or dual field of view magnified day channel.

The night channel enables the vehicle to have a 24 hour surveillance and weapon aiming capability. The sight input lever (“link”) arm connects to the armament via the turret link and incorporates adjustment for elevation boresight corrections. The link arm can be fitted in any orientation to the left or right of the sight body, depending on turret configuration.

The day channel is capable of recognising a main battle tank (defined as a 2.3 x 2.3 metre target) in clear air at a range of 4 km, and shall identify the same target at 2.5 km.
