Fire control unit

For Light Weapons in Daylight and Night-time Operations

The FelVis fire control unit is a universal aiming aid for enhancing the accuracy of light weapons such as the 40 mm LV AG36, light antitank weapons or similar weapons with a sharply curved projectile trajectory with an elevation of over 10. It is equipped with an integrated laser rangefinder for measuring the distance to the target, and sensors for measuring barometric pressure, air temperature and the line of sight incline. The fire control unit uses these values to calculate the elevation of the correction angle, aligning the fire control unit and viewing device accordingly. Its modular design enables quick installation of various aiming devices, depending on the mission and light conditions. For daylight operations, a red dot or holographic aiming device can be mounted on the Picatinny rail. At night, these viewing systems can be used in combination with night vision goggles. In conditions of complete darkness, the built-in IR laser target marker can be used for aiming, and the infrared laser target illuminator for lighting up the target. The illuminator beam width is adjustable, meaning that it can be adapted to various ranges of engagement. The red light laser target marker can be used in low light conditions and at twilight without night vision goggles. It is also utilized for adjusting the FelVis on the weapon axis.
The fire control unit can be used during daylight with a red dot or holographic aiming device.

Viewing Devices (0ptional) Technical Data Depending on the operational requirements, a variety of viewing devices can be mounted on the Picatinny rail. For daylight operations, the following possibilities exist (among others): Red dot aiming device (e.g.: RSA-S, Aimpoint) Telescopic scope with various coefficients of magnification Holographic aiming device: (e.g. EOTech) For night-time operations with night vision goggles: Red dot aiming device Built-in IR laser target marker and IR laser target illuminator Laser class, Fire Control Unit Aiming Device DIN EN 60825-2003 Dimensions (W x H x L) Protective cap, closed Protective cap, open (optional) Weight Laser rangefinder Range Wavelength measuring laser

The fire control unit can be used in the dark with night vision goggles and the IR laser target marker. Viewing devices: 1. Holographic aiming device, 2. Telescopic scope, 3. Red dot aiming device

NOHD nom./ext. Laser target marker, IR Output Wavelength Operation Aim weapon at target. Carry out fully automatic fire control sequence (Key B). When Key B is actuated, the entire laying procedure takes place automatically. During or after adjustment of the correction angle, the viewing device is re-aimed at the target. It is possible to switch from one target to another without having to revert to the zero position. Distance measuring: When Key A is actuated, the system measures the distance to the target; the distance measured appears on the display. Target laser: When Key C is actuated, the previously selected laser is switched on or off. In the process, the previously selected beam size and luminosity is taken into account. Divergence Range NOHD nom./ext. Laser target illuminator, IR Output Wavelength Oval surface divergence, adjustable. Range in darkness NOHD nom./ext.
