Step-change in optical sight
Raytheon ELCAN Optical Technologies has extended the application of its Specter DR dual-role optical weapon sight to use with light and heavy machine gun systems. The Specter DR 4x/1x represents a step-change in optical sight
design. The world’s first truly dualfield-of-view combat optical sight, the Specter DR switches instantly from a 4x magnified sight to a 1x close quarter battle (CQB) sight, with the switch of a lever. Unlike zoom sights, the Specter DR offers an enhanced optical path

and identical eye relief in both 4x and 1x modes (or 1.5x to 6x magnification). Intended for use in both CQB and longer-range engagements, the machine gun version of the Specter DR sight uses the same battle-proven, rugged optics and mechanics as the automatic rifle variant, but incorporates a newly designed reticle that compensates for the ballistic drop of the machine gun, while maintaining the crisp red aiming dot and reticle illumination of the original ELCAN Specter DR sight. “Magnification allows the gunner to put the first burst on target rather than sighting from splash. This is more accurate and reduces the likelihood of exposing the gunner’s position while using less ammunition”, Jack Davidson, international product manager for ELCAN rifle sights, told the CANSEC Show Daily. Raytheon is understood to be positioning the Specter DR machine gun variant sight for the requirements of Canada and the UK for use with their respective C6 and L7 7.62mm generalpurpose machine guns.
