Laser rangefinders for the military
They are virtually indispensable in the military equipment of special units or armed forces: Laser rangefinders for professional use. Particularly in critical situations, precise distance measurement is essential for reliable firearm targeting. Laser rangefinders are therefore military standard equipment worldwide with many defense forces.
Observation and target location for every mission
Nowadays precise rangefinding is essential for observation and target location. To ensure that this functions smoothly even under difficult conditions, Safran Vectronix offers a broad spectrum of sophisticated products for military observation and defense: Extending from extremely lightweight but nevertheless very sturdy weapon-, vehicle- or helmet-mounted rangefinders or handheld rangefinder binoculars to complex but nevertheless compact observation systems.
Handheld rangefinder binoculars
In the handheld rangefinder binoculars area, military and tactical forces can choose from a large variety of laser rangefinders, for example the extremely lightweight JIM COMPACT rangefinder. Derived from the proven JIM LR product family, it weighs only 2 kg but is equipped with everything necessary for a multi-functional long-range binocular system. Or the MOSKITO family, already proven in many missions. The current MOSKITO TI combines multiple functions, low weight and intuitive operation better than any other device in its class. Both the JIM and MOSKITO families include product models with integrated functions for day and night observation, such as the night vision option. The Safran Vectronix JIM HR additionally features integrated thermal imaging. The successful VECTOR family should also be mentioned here. For example, the VECTOR 23 enables precise measurements up to 25 kilometers. Perfectly matched to the requirements of military forces and special task forces.
Observation systems
With the mounted observation systems as well, professionals can choose from various models according to the mission purpose and task, and combine them with handheld systems. For example, the proven STERNA family can be combined with devices from the JIM, VECTOR or MOSKITO family. This allows the observation options to be tailored precisely to the mission concerned. The GONIOLIGHT combines the features of the handheld systems with the northfinding capabilities of a digital (non-magnetic) compass.
GonioLight V-TI
The ultimate system for the detection, recognition, identification and acquisition of targets. The GonioLight V-TI provides 1 mil accuracy and can operate day or night – in even the harshest of environmental conditions.

Mounted Equipment
One of the special disciplines of Safran Vectronix is laser rangefinders for use directly on a weapon, helmet or vehicle. Like their larger siblings, they offer all the functions necessary for effective and accurate observation and target location: Rangefinding, night vision functions, laser pointing, and much more.
As diverse as the application areas and features of the versatile laser rangefinder models from Safran Vectronix may be, with regard to quality and finishing they are all oriented to the expectations and requirements of armed forces and their missions. And we are constantly working to improve and enhance all components of our products. As a result, you automatically get our experience as well, which you cannot purchase anywhere else. Our decades of expertise in optronics, instrumentation and positioning have made us a leading manufacturer and developer of precision systems for observation, detection, geopositioning, rangefinding and target location. Whatever your mission may be, our integrated, handheld, adaptable or modular laser rangefinders work for you in any situation, under the most extreme conditions and with the utmost reliability.
Rangefinding and observation under all conditions
Along with intuitive operation, which makes all measurement data – distance, target location and observation – quickly accessible even in stress situations, robustness and availability are important for the security of armed forces. Safran Vectronix laser rangefinders have proven their worth in thousands of missions everywhere in the world. In permanent ice, humid jungles and blistering heat, in the middle of mud, dust and sand, they reliably do their duty. They fulfill our promise: Maximum performance and reliability with minimal operation. Thanks to cooperation with our customers and their feedback, we are able to constantly make our products lighter, stronger and more resilient. It is therefore hardly surprising that more and more armed forces are making them part of their standard equipment.
For secure missions everywhere in the world
Along with strategic planning, experienced troops and excellent technology, behind every military mission there is a dedicated team that safeguards everything. Safran Vectronix likewise offers matching service support for our portfolio of sophisticated optronic devices. It’s no coincidence that we are the worldwide market leader in the areas of observation and location for both military and civilian missions. Safran Vectronix combines innovative solutions with first-class product quality, along with tailored service and integrated logistics support (ILS) – for the full lifetime of our products. That all serves to increase the security of military and civilian missions worldwide.
