Saab has contracted Senop to deliver its latest smart sight for a NATO nation.
The Advanced Fire Control Device Thermal Imager (AFCD TI) is designed for the Carl-Gustaf M3 and M4 weapon systems, packing all performance-enhancing features into one casing.
“For the past four-five years, Senop has grown significantly and that has allowed us to invest strongly into production capability and in research and development,” Senop President Aki Korhonen said.
“We are proud to support our customer with the Senop AFCD TI. The order we received is a clear indication and proof of our expertise and ability to deliver innovative solutions that meet our customer’s requirements and enhance operational firepower.”

The AFCD TI provides a combination of a state-of-the-art day camera, thermal camera, laser rangefinder, and ballistic calculation, enhancing first-round hit probability for both moving and stationary targets.
Depending on the situation, a user can opt for a day camera, a thermal camera, or a combined fusion image for target detection, identification, and recognition, unlike other systems that use a traditional day sight and clip-on night optics.
Moreover, at 1.7 kilograms (3.74 pounds), it is the lightest fire control system for Carl-Gustaf on the market, according to the Finnish firm.
