Leonardo Germany is to supply up to 107,929 daylight optics for the Bundeswehr’s current and future assault rifles, the company announced on 13 October.
Leonardo will deliver ELCAN Specter DR 1-4x sights, adapted to specific Bundeswehr requirements, which include a modified reticle and a housing with an integrated Picatinny rail. The most important design change is the ability to operate the switching mechanism from 1x to 4x magnification from both sides of the new sight for assault rifles, while retaining the compact design and robust nature of the optic. First deliveries are scheduled for the third quarter of this year.
