Milipol 2017, Paris, France, November 21-24, Stand G-025

November 13, 2017. Meprolight LTD.– a member of the SK Group and a leading manufacturer of electro-optical systems, thermal and night vision equipment, self-illuminated sights, and Laser Range Finder systems for military, law enforcement and civil applications – launches, at Milipol 2017, a new additional version of its MEPRO M5 Red Dot Sight. The new version has a Bullseye reticle that allows extended operating time while providing quick acquisition of a target using a large display window.

According to Benny Kokia, VP Marketing and Sales, ͞Some of the most popular optic sights with a display window and Bullseye reticle consume high energy and, therefore, force the users to frequently change their batteries. We met the challenge and present our new Bullseye version with a unique, energy-efficient capability that significantly extends the operation time, while using a large transparent display window for rapid acquisition of targets. This is a unique sight, that poses a new challenge to our Tier 1 competitors, and we expect it to become very popular among our military, law enforcement and civilian customers. The new Bullseye sight is available with both Red and Green reticles, allowing each user to choose the optimized aiming pattern color according to his own preferences or environmental conditions."

The MEPRO M5 Red-Dot Sight (known in The US Market as Mepro RDS PRO) is an energy-efficient, compact sight that provides thousands of operating hours while utilizing a single ͞AA͟ commercial battery. Featuring battle-proven LED technology and rugged MIL-STD design, the sight assures reliability under the harshest environmental conditions. With its large display window and clearly-defined Red Dot, the MEPRO M5 ensures rapid target acquisition with both eyes open. Offering numerous reticle brightness intensities, the MEPRO M5 suits every tactical scenario. To facilitate night operations and long-range target engagement, the MEPRO M5 is compatible with GEN II and GEN III NVGs as well as with magnifying scopes. Its human engineering allows positioning of NVGs and magnifiers close to the sight’s optics with no decrease in the field-of-view and without compromising convenient switch operation.

Combining Uncooled Thermal Channel with Digital Day/Night Camera, MEPRO  NYX-200 improves soldier’s situational awareness and allows rapid target acquisition in any lighting conditions and any environment

Milipol 2017, Paris, France, November 21-24, Stand G-025

November 16, 2017. Meprolight Ltd. – a member of the SK Group and a leading manufacturer of electro-optical systems, thermal and night vision equipment, self-illuminated sights, and Laser Range Finder systems for military, law enforcement and civil applications – launches the unique MEPRO NYX-200 multi-spectral weapon sight and hand-held device, combining an uncooled thermal channel with a sensitive high-resolution digital day/night camera, at Milipol 2017. This sight improves the soldier’s situational awareness, and allows rapid target acquisition in any lighting conditions and in any environment.

According to Assaf Shimron, CEO of Meprolight, ͞Modern battlefield challenges force soldiers to carry an expanding array of systems, sensors, and equipment. The weight of this equipment and the need to operate a variety of devices reduces mission effectiveness and may compromise soldier safety. To solve these issues and improve the modern soldier's operation, we developed the MEPRO NYX-200.͟͞

The MEPRO NYX-200 is a lightweight, all-in-one weapon sight that includes a thermal imaging channel and day/night sensitive camera, integrated DVR and IR pointer,͟ Mr. Shimron continued. ͞This solution replaces at least four (4) different systems currently carried by the average soldier. It allows ongoing work, 24/7, in all environments and weather conditions – meeting the demands of the modern battlefield and increasing mission effectiveness.͟

The MEPRO NYX-200 is available in two configurations: thermal channel with digital night camera or thermal channel with digital day camera. The combination of thermal channel and digital night camera (DNC) enables enhanced situational awareness with maximum view at any level of darkness in any environment. The thermal channel can be used in total darkness and through fog, camouflage, etc. The sight’s digital night vision is optimized for Close Quarters Battle (CQB), face recognition, and more.

The combination of thermal channel and digital day camera (DDC) enables the soldiers to use the sight for both day and night operation, eliminating the need to change sights/devices between day and night, and allowing soldiers to move between dark and light environments, such as entering dark places also during daytime.

Long operation time based on four (4) commercially available batteries enables soldiers to complete missions without power failure. The integrated IR pointer supports various tactical scenarios including CQB and covert night operations. Using integrated DVR enables image capture and video recording and transmitting for mission debriefing. MEPRO NYX-200 was designed and fabricated to the most stringent military standards, including MIL-810, to assure years of reliable operation under all field and environmental conditions.

We are proud to share with you the latest news that we are receiving since Wednesday, about the successful use of our Xaver systems in saving lives in Mexico City and its surroundings.

The systems helped in detecting and rescuing survivors buried under the buildings that were collapsed during the deadly earthquake.

In the wake of such a terrible disaster, Camero were very excited to be part of those moments of joy when people were found alive with the help of our Xaver systems.

We  were notified that several people were found using our systems, including two school girls inside the rubbles of a local school.

Both  XaverTM800 and XaverTM400 systems were procured by the Mexican Army few years ago.

We are happy to learn that all those systems were available to be deployed immediately.

Below are some photos that were shown in the local news and some that were taken on site.

​

Here you can watch a news report that was broadcasted yesterday, where the commander of the rescue teams

explain about the XaverTM400 system and about its successful deployment.
