Elbit’s spokesman demonstrating the system also noted that the system’s ergonomics were being tweaked with a redesign of the elector-optical and user interface unit which attaches to the weapon’s forend being planned. This makes firing from the hip on the move or at targets from cover, without exposing the user, very easy.Įlbit Systems noted that the ARCAS system is rapidly maturing and has been used operationally by Israel’s armed forces. This in theory allows users to aim and fire the weapon accurately, even while not in the operator’s shoulder. This has an augmented-reality display which puts location, target and other situational awareness data over the view from the system’s electro-optic.ĪRCAS 2 can be linked to a helmet-mounted HUD (heads up optical display) with a graphical user interface or another capable optic. ARCAS 1, with a computer unit which sends information to the system’s dedicated optical display mounted on the rifle’s top rail in place of a conventional optic. The system is available in 2 configurations. Here’s an interesting, futuristic video from Elbit explaining the aims of the system: The systems weigh between 1.8 to 2.2 lbs. This is then linked to either the weapon’s sight system or to the user’s helmet-mounted optics. The attachment incorporates the ARCAS interface as well as an electro-optic – either an FIR (infrared) or LWIR (long way infrared) thermal imager. The system is made up of a weapon-mounted system which becomes the weapon’s foregrip, this allows the user’s supporting hand to access the system’s control panel.
