Compact and lightweight, the gunner’s sight provides a true day and night situation awareness acquisition, target designation and high-efficiency engagement to armored vehicles at a distance of more than 3.5 km. Archer’s sight gives gunners increased visual range for identification and acquisition of targets, and a clearer view in situations of limited visibility.

To date, Archer has successfully completed the defining tests of the improved gunner’s sight for the T-64 tank and expected contract for supply for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Archer is a leading Ukrainian company providing innovative systems and thermal vision devices.
