OPTRONICS EXPERTISE IN SERVICE OF SECURITY

QUALITY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Our compact, easy-to-operate systems’

clarity and range are nothing short of

remarkable. They are stabilised to

perfection and peerless when it comes

to quality in night-vision and laser

technology. After more than 120 years

of furnishing premium-quality products,

customers expect no less than excellence

from us. Yesterday it was Carl Zeiss

Optronics that delivered the finest

optronic devices and systems; today it

is Cassidian Optronics that carries on

this grand tradition.

PROVEN TECHNOLOGY UNDER A NEW NAME

Cassidian acquired a majority stake in the defence

and security division of Carl Zeiss Optronics GmbH

on October 1, 2012. Renamed Cassidian Optronics,

this new company pairs the optical and optronic skills

of Carl Zeiss with the abilities and reach of a global

leader in security solutions.

For more than 120 years, our company has developed

and produced optical technologies and systems for

customers worldwide. Their precision and reliability

are prized in both military and civilian applications.

Now, as part of the EADS division Cassidian, we are

able to achieve our most important objective:

To support the people whose mission is to protect

the world.

Observe, identify and finally aim: Snipers have tough calls to make, and the great distances to targets do not make these

decisions any easier. These sharpshooters must remain motionless despite all the discomforts and often challenging weather

that can turn a mission into a nerve-racking trial of endurance. Their concentration may never wane and they must always

gather as much intelligence as they can through unflagging observation. Anything that wins time and helps collect information

is good for the mission. The earlier a threat can be identified, the more options are available to address it.

Security forces today save lives, rescue hostages and conduct surveillance from afar. Police or military, all these units need

visors and observation instruments of the highest optical and optronic quality to do their duty. Observing, identifying and

making good decisions at a moment’s notice are no easy tasks. The Hensoldt Line offers the perfect kit to get the job done for

every mission posture. Equipped with visors, modular night-vision attachments, and telescopic sights, snipers, infantrymen,

forward observers and special forces, can focus on what matters most – their missions.

LINE: TACTICAL OPTICSClear views, day and night

Fully focused on the target

The Hensoldt Line offers visors and

optics for short-, medium- and long-

range observation and targeting. Our

scopes support parallax correction and

offer the marksman variable magnifi-

cation settings. The brightness of cross -

hairs are adjustable to suit the given

light, thereby enabling the marksman

to aim accurately regardless of the light

conditions. The 6-24 x 72 SAM model

even factors environmental parameters

such as temperature and air pressure

into the equation, and automatically

calculates the ballistic compensation in

terms of elevation and skew. This frees

the marksman to focus fully on his

mission.

Turning night into day

We offer two options for night-time

observation, acquisition and aiming,

one being residual image intensifiers

and the other thermal imaging devices.

Both offer the user specific advantages.

Devices based on residual light intensifi-

cation enable direct target identification.

Cosmetic camouflage does little to

deter thermal imaging devices so that

they may be used to good advantage

even during the day. The system’s

modular design permits night-vision

add-ons to be attached and removed

without requiring further adjustment or

bore-sighting. With these assets, the

marksman is ready for every situation,

day or night.

TELESCOPIC SIGHTS / TARGETING OPTICS

Cassidian Optronics furnishes the

right gear for every mission, long,

intermediate or short range. All devices

stem from the same reliable source and

are fully compatible. Offering all the

convenience of truly ergonomic design,

these robust, reliable products deliver

outstanding optical performance

whatever the conditions may be.

Parallax compensation

Telescopic sights without parallax

compensation are configured so that

an object at a predefined distance –

say, 100 m – is exactly imaged in the

reticle plane. Objects at other ranges

appear either in front of or behind

the reticle. This can result in parallax

errors in conventional scopes. But not

in our telescopic sights – they provide

parallax correction from 50 m to ∞.

Reticle illumination

The reticle comes with infinitely

adjustable illumination so targets can

be acquired even at twilight.

First or second focal plane

If the reticle is in the first focal plane,

its size changes in sync with the

magnification. This makes it very easy

to determine range without having to

recalculate. The size of a reticle in the

second focal plane does not change

when the magnification is adjusted.

The subtension of the reticle changes

with the scale of the set magnification.

TELESCOPIC SIGHTS3 – 12 x 56Long range

When using a telescopic sight with a

night-vision attachment, every centi metre

counts depending on the assembly

options on the weapon. Therefore,

our objective during development of

the 3 – 12 x 56 telescopic sight was to

deliver maximum performance while

maintaining a short optical system.

In addition to a compact design,

the adjustment range of the elevation

turret also sets new standards.

The 3 – 12 x 56, for example, provides an

adjustment range of 400 cm at 100 m.

TELESCOPIC SIGHTS4 – 16 x 56 FF LTLong range

In addition to high optical performance,

the tactical possibilities for mission

forces are decisive.

We addressed this aspect while

reworking our 4 – 16 x 56 FF. The

redesigned turrets are self-locking, i.e.

unintentional adjustment of the reticle is

not possible.

The elevation turret provides ballistic

compensation of 14.5 mrad (145 clicks)

in one revolution.

Due to a total adjustment range of

22 mrad the user has suffi cient reserves

for zeroing. Users can specify them-

selves if the turret stops at 0 or

at 5, for example.

The short design and optical quality

were not compromised.

TELESCOPIC SIGHTS3.5 – 26 x 56 FFLong range

Our newly developed 3.5 – 26 x 56 is a

unique all-rounder among telescopic

sights. With its large magnifi cation

range (3.5 – 26x), it can be used for both

short and long ranges.

The enormous adjustment ranges,

which also enable ballistic compensa-

tion at maximum range, are unique. The

elevation turret provides 18 mrad (180

clicks) over two noticeable rotations. To

simplify use in all climate zones, the

turret does not stop at 0, but continues

to -5, resulting in a total of 365 clicks!

The length of the system is particularly

important for the use of night-vision

devices, an area where this telescopic

sight is in a class of its own. At 37 cm, it

is only minimally longer than our

4 – 16 x 56 telescopic sights.

TELESCOPIC SIGHTS6 – 24 x 72 SAMLong range

The 6 – 24 x 72 SAM telescopic sight is

an innovation among telescopic sights:

For the fi rst time, the click values of the

top and side turrets, as well as relevant

environmental conditions such as

air pressure and temperature are

digitally displayed in the fi eld of view.

The integrated ballistic calculator

determines the required elevation and

azimuth correction based on the given

ammunition, range to the target and

current environmental data. The

time-consuming evaluation of shot

charts is a thing of the past. This

enables rifl emen to achieve a very high

hit probability at long range without

prior experience with a specifi c type of

ammunition.

Because the respective ballistic values

are zeroed and saved separately,

completely different types of ammuni-

tion and calibres can be used without

having to readjust the system.

The costs of expensive training rounds

are reduced and valuable training times

can be used for other purposes.

TARGETING OPTICS4 x 30 iIntermediate range

4 x 30i targeting optics deliver excellent

optical performance, particularly in

adverse visibility conditions. The twilight

performance is extraordinary for

targeting optics: With an exit pupil of

7.5 mm, the 4 x 30i is particularly

well-suited for the twilight and practi-

cally optimised for the human eye.

This benefi t now carries over to the use

of a night-vision attachment. Combined

with our NSV 600, in particular, users

can now take advantage of the large

fi eld of view of 140 m at 1000 m even at

night. Rifl emen maintain an overview

despite the 4x magnifi cation.

Optimised adjustment of the eye relief,

pupil diameter and fi eld of view with

maximum edge defi nition make the

4 x 30i targeting optics a superior

targeting instrument for intermediate

ranges.

Also available as 4 x 30 without reticle

illumination.

TARGETING OPTICS6 x 36iIntermediate range

As an enhancement of our 4 x 30, the

6 x 36 is our approach to the current

demand for increased assertiveness at

middle ranges.

We want to offer a more economical

alternative to a traditional telescopic

sight that does not require additional

training. Therefore, this optical device is

as easy to use as the 4 x 30.

Under the aspect of higher magnifi ca-

tion (6x) and thus longer ranges, we

have only made minor modifi cations to

these optics. The fi eld of view of 5.3°

(93 m / 1000 m) is very comfortable and

enables a good overview.

In line with tactical requirements, the

6 x 36 also sits very low on the weapon.

It is also possible to use a red dot sight

on the CQB rail.

TARGETING OPTICSRSA-S REFLEX SIGHT AND VGN 3X MAGNIFICATION ATTACHMENTShort range

The RSA-S refl ex sight, a compact

collimator sight, is ideal for fast reaction

and close quarters combat. Precision

optics and state-of-the-art electronics

enable fast target acquisition in all

situations.

Reliable engagement up to 200 m can

be easily achieved. The RSA-S refl ex

sight is watertight and extremely

resistant to jolts and vibrations. It is

designed for two-eye operation, which

allows very fast target acquisition.

With only 100 g, the RSA-S is truly a

lightweight instrument.

Wide ranging conditions demand

fl exibility and an optimal compromise

between balance and weight – on the

weapon and the targeting optics.

The VGN 3x magnifying adapter is used

OBSERVATION OPTICS

22

Our observation optics are fine-tuned

for the special tasks that they have been

engineered to perform. Robust enough

for use in every conceivable climate

zone, these extremely powerful optics

are excellent surveillance tools.

They serve to observe troop movements,

acquire target details, pinpoint booby

traps, confirm hits and, if necessary,

enable spotters to make targeting

adjustments. In short, Cassidian

Optronics’ powerful observation optics

support modern-day security forces

across the board.

The measure of any high-performance

optics is how well they image details at

long range. Reconnaissance is the key

to making well-informed decisions

and to taking pre-emptive action rather

than relying on ex-post-facto reaction.

Cassidian Optronics’ spotting scopes

raise the performance bar with optics

tailored to the needs of the military.

They help combatants accomplish their

mission in defiance of blistering heat,

glacial cold or torrential rain.

23

OBSERVATION OPTICSSPOTTER 60 / SPOTTER 45

Three key features make the 20 – 60 x 72

spotting scope, or Spotter 60, from

Cassidian Optronics the ideal instrument

for the observation and identifi cation of

objects, and target hit monitoring: high

magnifi cation (20x to 60x), a 72 mm lens

and a MIL-DOT reticle with continuously

adjustable illumination whose size

changes congruent with the magnifi ca-

tion level.

To make these excellent optics available

for a wider range of applications, we

also offer the Spotter 45 which features

variable magnifi cation of 15 – 45x. In hot

climates, in particular, the beginning

magnifi cation of 20x on the Spotter 60

is often not benefi cial because of

disturbences by mirage.

NIGHT-VISION ATTACHMENTS

28

Threats can arise at any time.

And that is reason enough to turn

night into day.

Residual light intensifiers

Our night-vision attachments were

developed for missions in adverse

weather and at night. Designed to

intensify residual light, they need no

time to ramp or heat up. A night-vision

system is easily configured – simply

mount the night-vision attachment in

front of the targeting optics. With 1:1

magnification, there is no need to align

night-vision components. And there

is no need for marksmen and spotters

to change their habits because

these state-of-the-art light intensifiers

are so remarkably light. Users can

continue relying on their familiar

daylight optics without any need for

readjustment.

Thermal imagers

Thermal imaging technology works

without the visible light that the human

eye needs to see. It detects infrared

radiation and renders it in images

so that the human eye can see what

normally escapes its detection. This

is a tremendous asset for military

missions.

This technology offers two tactical

advantages. For one, targets disguised

by purely visual camouflage are readily

identified because a heat source is

difficult to conceal. Unlike residual light

intensifiers, thermal imagers can also

be used during the day. And the other

tactical benefit of our uncooled thermal

imagers is that they are silent.

MISSION APPROVED MISSION IMPROVED

Moritz Hensoldt founds M. Hensoldt & Söhne,

Optische Werke AG at Wetzlar. The company

commences to making microscopes, telescopes

and measuring devices.

The first Hensoldt riflescope with a prism reversal

system debuts. It marks the first of many mile -

stones to come in Hensoldt / Zeiss’s track record

of success in developing and manufacturing such

systems at Wetzlar.

The German Bundeswehr adopts a new assault

rifle, the first weapon to feature two optical sights

by Hensoldt as standard appointments. It sees

wide use around the world.

Cassidian Optronics’ roots run deep:

For more than 100 years, Carl Zeiss,

the company from which we emerged,

led the world in precision mechanical

devices, optics and high-performance

optronic systems.

If you wish to revisit some of the

milestones of our history and heritage

of innovation, consult the timeline at

the bottom of the page.

The examples of Hensoldt line inventions

and products on the right are there to

give you an idea of how we are shaping

the future of visors and optics.

Perfection since 1846:

Carl Zeiss sets up his Werkstätte für Feinmechanik

und Optik at Jena. Zeiss earns a stellar reputation

in Germany for its scientific instruments, which are

held to be among the finest available.

The correspondence between Baron Carl

Beaulieu-Marconnay (lieutenant) and Ernst Abbe

culminates in the first sight telescope for the

Prussian army. This day marks the beginning of

defence business at Carl Zeiss.

Raimondo Lorenzo D’Equevilley-Montjustin

designs the Forelle, a midget submarine

subsequently built by the Germania shipyard

at Kiel. Carl Zeiss delivers the periscope for the

first German submarine suited for military use.

The company develops and rolls out a successful

line of new night-vision attachments, thereby

enhancing its optical and mechanical capabilities

with excellence in optronics.

CASSIDIAN OPTRONICS AROUND THE WORLD

A 694 nm ruby laser marks the fi rst success in

military laser rangefi nders, followed by the

Nd:YAG 1060 nm laser in 1965 and an eye-safe

Nd:YAG laser and 1543 nm Raman cell in 1983.

Although the inceptive heat-seeking device, the

Donau, dates back to 1944, large-scale production

commences much later. 10,000+ WBG-X thermal

imagers designed for Leopard 1, Leopard 2,

Marder and Luchs armoured vehicles are produced

pursuant to the common module principle.

Cassidian acquires a majority stake in the

defence and security division of Carl Zeiss.

Renamed Cassidian Optronics GmbH, the new

company carries on the tradition of excellence

in optics that started in 1846.
