SUSAT & Optical Systems

Sights

Primary sighting system for the British Army 5.56 mm calibre weapon systems.
Four times magnification, coupled with an aiming pointer with variable tritium illumination, gives enhanced performance.

SUSAT / Sight Unit Small Arms Trilux

SUSAT is constructed from a one-piece, pressure die-cast aluminium body, into which the eyepiece, objective lens and the prisms are fitted as assemblies; this ensures accuracy of alignment and simplifies manufacture.

The size and shape of the aiming pointer allows a head sized target to be balanced on the tip at 300m, yet it is prominent enough to be ‘seen’ at close ranges.

Designed as a fixed focus sealed unit, with only one moving part, SUSAT is virtually maintenance free.

User trials have determined that SUSAT increases the limit of night visibility by up to three times, compared with traditional iron sights.

Its specification and design is the result of extensive development work, fully proven, by rigorous testing and field trials to satisfy exacting military standards. It is suitable for a variety of military roles.

Its Prismatic type incorporating the principle of fixed focus; it is fully desiccated and sealed and protected by a ribbed rubber cover to withstand extremes of shock, vibration and temperature encountered over the range of operational deployments. Its ergonomic configuration permits use with heavy gloves and has blinker type eye guards which are fitted to exclude extraneous light and provide positive location for the eye.

Anti-reflective coatings. Fungal growth protection. Fully sealed and purged.
