Hand-held optics
Hand-held opticsSights, scopes and night vision attachments
Since 1896, HENSOLDT has stood for combat-proven, reliable and accurate targeting and observation solutions for a wide range of weapons, from hand-held to heavy systems. Our product range includes sights, scopes, spotters, night vision attachments, residual light intensifiers and fire control systems. Built with full modularity, all devices come from a single trusted source, allowing seamless customisation for specific mission requirements.
Our optics are built to perform in any climate, providing exceptional clarity in both daylight and low-light scenarios. The equipment is robust enough for use by conventional troops and special forces, ensuring operational success in demanding environments.
Systems for future-ready soldiers
Our sights and night vision attachments have also been selected for Germany’s “Soldier of the Future” programme (IdZ-1 and IdZ-2), which reflects their reliability and high performance.
The HENSOLDT portfolio includes targeting optics for short-range and intermediate-range weapons such as assault rifles, observation optics with up to 60x magnification and modular night vision attachments for rifles and anti-tank weapons. Additionally, handheld observation optics combine thermal imagers and visual channels, offering versatile tools for diverse mission profiles.

Innovative solutions for a safer worldNight or day, static or moving – fire control systems
HENSOLDT’s fire control systems are designed to enhance targeting precision for a variety of weapon systems. With features such as optical magnification, a laser rangefinder and a ballistics computer, they ensure high accuracy against both static and dynamic targets. These systems are also compatible with night vision attachments, enabling effective use in low-light conditions. The fire control systems are versatile and allow seamless integration with various types of ammunition and weapon configurations.
High-performance observation optics for tactical precision
HENSOLDT’s observation optics are designed for precision in various tactical situations. They therefore offer a high-contrast image and magnification options for diverse needs. With magnification ranges from 6x to 60x, they support both close-range observation and long-distance identification, even under low-visibility conditions. The optics deliver sharp image quality across all levels of magnification and feature advanced capabilities such as adjustable reticle illumination and integrated laser protection, all in a compact, robust design suitable for military use.
Targeting optics for precision in all conditions
HENSOLDT’s targeting optics for handheld weapons, for example assault rifles and machine guns, offer a modular and compact design that enhances operational flexibility. These optics are compatible with night vision attachments without needing adjustments, meaning that they ensure seamless transitions between day and night operations. Built for use in all climatic conditions, they deliver clear vision and precision targeting in diverse environments. With features such as reticle illumination and optional red dot integration, these optics provide reliable performance in both close-range and medium-range engagements.
