Electro-Optical Sight System
• Type
Ground
• Development
Based on the established technologies of electro-optics modules and system integration, the
Materials and Electro-Optics Research Division (MEORD) developed the Electro-Optical (EO) Sight
System which was specially designed for the Fire Control Unit (FCU) of modern light amour vehicles
of Taiwan army.
Been through the field test, this EO sight system was put in mass production and was delivered to
Taiwan army in 2013.
• Description
Electro-Optical (EO) Sight System improves the survivability and fighting capabilities of the light
armored vehicles. It incorporates a thermal camera, a CCD camera, an eye-safe laser range finder
and a display control unit. All key modules were designed and built by NCSIST. Effective day and
night, it provides ranging and built-in ballistic calculation, and equipped with dual field of view
(DFOV) optics for search, detection, recognition and identification.
This EO sight system is perfectly suited for 7.62mm and 40mm Gunner and Commander’s
applications for rapid engagement and responses.
