The Israeli Defence Forces have adopted Elbit Systems XACT family of weapon sights for operational use for their infantry and special forces.
The XACT th65 and XACT th64 uncooled thermal imaging weapon sights will enter operational service with Israel's infantry and special forces.
The Australian Army has already adopted the XACT th65 with approximately 5000 units already in service.
“The XACT family of systems is a good example of our continuous efforts to deliver technologies that increase both mission effectiveness and safety," said Elad Aharonson, general manager of Elbit Systems' ISTAR division.
Available in clip-on or stand-alone configuration, the compact XACT weapon sights enable effective operation in day and night.
Featuring a high resolution coloured OLED display, image processing capabilities and a region of interest algorithm, XACT weapon sights enable effective target engagement even under degraded visibility conditions.
Embedding a unique calibration algorithm, XACT weapon sights eliminate the need for non-uniformity calibration or shutter-based calibration thereby enabling continuous and consistent operation.
The XACT th64 provides vehicle target recognition from a 1,100-metre range and human target recognition from a 600-metre range, while the XACT th65 enables vehicle target recognition from 1,250 metres and human target recognition from 750 metres.
Both weapon sights are housed in a sealed fully submersible metal housing.
