Meets Requirements of Medium-Sized Naval Vessels

Drawing on feedback from deployment of its products in remote operational theatres, Safran Electronic & Defense is launching VIGY 4 at Euronaval this week – a new optronic sight specifically developed to meet the requirements of naval surface vessels.

The latest addition to the company’s naval optronics systems family (which also includes the VIGY HD and PASEO XLR), VIGY 4 features advanced observation and fire control capabilities to meet the requirements of medium-sized craft, such as offshore patrol vessels and corvettes, for example: VIGY HD is more suited to vessels such as coastal patrol boats and PASEO XLR to larger vessels.

VIGY 4 is a compact gyrostabilised multisensor observation system with a shortwave infrared channel, which can see through mist and fog. The system can be coupled to a sector surveillance module to create a simple and effective surveillance system. It is also designed to control light- and medium-calibre weapons.
