Sagem receives JIM-LR order
Sagem will supply its JIM-LR long-range multifunction infrared binoculars to an unnamed NATO army under an order announced on 24 March.
The order will see Sagem supply more than 200 JIM-LR units, along with remote control terminals. It is a repeat order for the customer.
JIM-LR is a high-performance tactical optronic (electro-optical) device, designed for surveillance, intelligence, zone protection and target designation missions. The system is multi-function, providing integrated day/night (thermal) vision, range-finding, laser pointer, magnetic compass, image and video recording, GPS and data transmission capabilities.
Recent improvements to the system have enhanced performance across detection, target designation, system integration and image processing. Because of its open architecture, JIM-LR can be associated with laser designators, and it can be remotely operated via military or civil networks. As part of a fixed or vehicle-mounted station, it can act as the optronic sensor for Sagem’s MOST optronic land surveillance mast.
