Sighting Systems

ELCAN Optical Technologies is the mission leader with a complete range of battle-tested, premium quality rifle sights including image intensified night vision (near IR), thermal (IR), digital and multi-role weapon sights. ELCAN has now combined a complete family of sights under the ELCAN Specter and PhantomIR product lines.

A key to Specter's success is ELCAN's nearly 160-year legacy designing and building precision optics. ELCAN is proud to provide advanced optical systems for a variety of military applications including missile guidance, airborne sensors and targeting, tactical imaging systems, man-portable sighting systems and rifle sights. Specter sights by ELCAN have been developed and tested since 1986, in close cooperation with North American and European allied forces. Specter sights are recognized by military marksmen as being the easiest and most accurate small arms targeting systems. Hundreds of thousands are now deployed with elite allied armies around the world. Specter sights by ELCAN have been battle-proven to perform flawlessly under the harshest battlefield conditions.

Military Applications

The soldier has always been on the front lines of conflict. However, today's soldier is a system, a war-fighting and communications platform, ready to interact within the network battle-space. They are the centerpieces of an effective fighting force. They are highly trained, properly equipped, and supremely focused on their mission. They can be deployed from any vehicle, ship or aircraft. Along with rifle, helmet and radio, the optical riflescope is now a pivotal component of the dismounted soldier system. It detects, identifies and engages the enemy with precision and reliability.
