CHARON LIGHT2 ­–small-size automated thermal sighting system, which is realizing functions of sight, red-dot sight, thermal imaging monocular, rangefinder and ballistic calculator, provides a comfortable overview of the area, searching, detection and aimed firing at distances up to 600 meters.

CHARON LIGHT2 designed for civil or military purposes, can be settled on small arms and opens new capabilities for detecting of camouflaged, partially concealed by landscape of area thermal contrast targets at day or night, in rain, snow, fog, dust storm, heat and other adverse weather conditions. Integrated ballistic calculator will automatically move an aiming reticle considering of the range and elevation angle of target, atmospheric pressure, air temperature and humidity and ballistic data of used ammunition. All that remains to be done by user is to coinside center of the aiming mark with target and pull the trigger.

CHARON LIGHT2 – is a modern hi-tech element base of the electronic unit and advanced functional capabilities in one compact device. Thermal imaging sensor, Linux OS based computer, ballistic calculator, OLED screen, GPS module, 3-axis gyro sensor, G meter, electronic compass, auxiliary sensors, audio and video recorders, interfaces of remote control, communication and data transfer are integrated into compact high-strength sealed aluminum-magnesium alloy case.

CHARON LIGHT2 optionally equipped with:

  • Laser rangefinder of IR&D company, which can be mounted up on the sight or the weapon’s foregrip and connects with the ballistic module by wire or telemetric radio channel;
  • IR&D Windmaster meteorological station with ultrasonic sensor of wind speed and direction (without vane and impeller), pressure, air temperature and humidity sensor;
  • Application for target coordinates calculation and its displaying at the electronic map, which is installed to smartphones or tablets (iOS / Android);

Easy to use, versatile and multifunctional CHARON LIGHT2 is perfect as a standalone thermal sight or observation device.

Features

  • IR&D high-selective rangefinder operation modes: through semi-transparent obstacles, in fog, dust-storm and under the other adverse weather conditions within 10 – 2000 meters range;
  • Built-in GLONASS/GPS module and electronic compass;
  • Built-in sensors: shot, steady state, roll, elevation, free fall, 3-axis gyro sensor, and G meter;
  • Automatic calculation of external ballistics of a bullet for up to 600 meters range;
  • Shooting by the reticle center – auto correction of a reticle position calculated under:
  • Target range;
  • Elevation;
  • Air pressure, temperature, and humidity;
  • Bullet ballistic data.
  • Innovative aiming mode enabling erratic moving target shooting with the image stabilized;
  • Image stabilization in the surveillance mode (shaking hands or a moving vehicle);
  • Motion detection: any warm-blooded target detected in motion is signaled by blinking on the display, Bluetooth voice prompt, and vibration of the wristband remote control (security function);
  • Target size up: once the distance to the target is measured or entered, with any zoom value, using a graphic ruler, it enables you to visually make out your target accurate linear dimensions, without any mathematical calculations;
