The
Aimpoint FCS12 is a Fire Control System for weapons
like the recoilless Carl Gustav and Panzerfaust
as well as Automatic Grenade Launchers and other
support weapons. The operator aims at the target
on a direct line-of-sight, which allows both eyes
open. The optical axis between the eye and the
target is not
broken or linked by use of prisms.The sight contains
an eye safe 1550 nm LRF (Laser Range Finder),
a ballistic computer with the capability to store
up to 50 different ballistic algorithms, and a
parallax free optical channel with unlimited eye
relief.
The FCS12 compensates automatically for the ballistic
drop of projectiles at measured distances, factoring
in variables such as: rotational (spin) drift,
propellant temperature and terrain angle.
The system consists of two separate modules —
the sight and aremote grip interface which transmit
commands to the sight via a wireless link. The
remote grip interface is designed to control
the most important functions for operating the
system during combat.
The
Aimpoint FCS12 is the result of many years
of intensive studies, research, and state-of-the-art
technical design. The system’s solid-state
design (no moving parts) ensures reliable
operation and sustainability during field
use.
Features
•
Small and very rugged design.
• No moving parts.
• Compatibility with all generations
of Night Vision Devices (NVD). The optical
channel is designed to have an optimal
eye relief of approximately 180 mm to
allow the use of NVD.
• Digital push button interface
located on the rear of the sight allows
for setting advanced features, as well
as providing a backup interface for standalone.
• User-friendly electronic controls
and graphical interface displays.
• More than 3 days continuous operations
including 100 range findings on one battery
pack.
• Quick change battery power packs
containing six standard AA batteries (Alkaline
or Lithium).
• Manual override controls allow
the operator to manually toggle range.
• Selectable language feature.
• Storage of up to 50 different
ballistic algorithms.
• A short list of up to 5 different
ballistic algorithms (types of ammunition)
can be chosen directly from the remote
grip interface.
• Terrain angle compensation measured
by an integrated inclinometer.
• The LRF measurement button overrides
all other functions and returns the system
to ready mode from any other point in
the menu.
• Selectable weapon feature.
