Based on user feedback of its many products in remote theatres of operations, Safran Electronics & Defense is launching VIGY 4, a new optronic sight for surface ships, to meet the needs and expectations of naval customers. This sight is the latest addition to the company’s family of naval optronic systems, including the VIGY HD and PASEO XLR.
VIGY 4 has advanced observation and fire control capabilities to meet the needs of medium-displacement ships such as offshore patrol vessels and corvettes, while VIGY HD is better suited to vessels such as coastal patrol boats and PASEO XLR to first-class vessels.
VIGY 4 is a gyrostabilized multisensor observation system with a shortwave infrared (SWIR) channel capable of seeing through mist and fog. The system can be combined with a sector surveillance module to create a simple and effective surveillance system. It can also control light and medium-calibre weapons.
Optics, electronic warfare, and inertial navigation are all areas of expertise for Safran Electronics & Defense. More than 1,000 ships—merchant vessels, naval surface ships, and submarines—and 50 navies worldwide are outfitted with sensors, optronic systems, and inertial systems designed and manufactured in France.
