ELCAN Specter DR dual role sight enhances optical
capabilities for NATO allies
NUREMBERG, Germany, Feb. 24,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX)
business was awarded an additional multi-million-dollar contract by
the Danish Defence Armed Forces for ELCAN Specter DR dual role
sights. The NATO Support Procurement Support Agency (NSPA) is the
contracting authority.
The ELCAN Specter DR sight is a direct-view optic that provides
close quarters and precision capability in a single sight. The
Specter DR sight switches instantly between magnifications,
providing the user with "both eyes open" target acquisition while
boresight, eye relief and sight picture remain constant.
"The Specter DR dual role sight is battle-proven, enabling
soldiers to be more effective on the battlefield," said
Mike Lewis, director and general
manager at Raytheon ELCAN. "Raytheon ELCAN continues to work with
our customers across NATO to deliver rugged, reliable optics that
give our allies a competitive advantage when it matters most."
The ELCAN Specter DR optical day sights will replace the ELCAN
C79 fixed 3.4x sights.
