Thursday, January 18th, 2024Envision Technology Introduces the Miniature Advanced Rangefinder System (MARS) NSN: 1240-99-984-0230
Thursday, January 18th, 2024Envision Technology, a manufacturer of state-of-the-art EO/IR technologies for the military, law enforcement and commercial markets, has entered full-rate production of the newest addition to the Envision product portfolio, the Miniature Advanced Rangefinder System (MARS).
Building off the success of Envision’s MARS-L system, which was introduced in 2022, MARS expands on this capability by including Near Infrared (NIR) aiming and illumination lasers in the same size package as the MARS-L. This weapon-mounted laser rangefinder (WMLRF) is a game changer, and has been purpose-built for the operational end user, with a strong focus on reductions in Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) when compared to existing systems. The MARS achieves this while delivering required capability attributes, such as a long-range eye safe (1550nm) LRF, visible pointer, NIR pointer, NIR VCSEL Illuminator, on-board ballistic computer (Applied Ballistics), and a large OLED display to allow the user to navigate the simple and intuitive user interface.
The compact and lightweight design (< 8 ounces with battery), is feature-rich and minimizes impact on the host weapon system and operator load. MARS is capable of successfully ranging a man-sized target beyond 1500 meters
(Man-size 10% reflective) and offers the user additional rangefinding modes for specific mission scenarios. The integrated Bluetooth module allows the user to interface with external devices such as a Kestrel weather meter. MARS is also compliant with Modular Sniper Display (MSD) ICD Rev. B and Rev. D to support exporting ballistics to an MSD scope or compatible thermal weapon sight.
“As an American manufacturer and small business, we are proud to deliver MARS systems to the men and women who continue to put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedoms” states Envision’s Head of Business Development and Sales, Mike Cassidy.

The MEPRO MOR sights effectively address three distinct needs within a single, sophisticated product – functioning as a battery-free passive reflector sight, a visible pointer, and an invisible IR pointer.

The sight’s battery-free reticle system enables accurate, fast, and instinctive firing at all times without the need to turn the sight ON; even if the sight is switched to OFF or has no batteries, its light-collecting fiber- optic and a tritium capsule ensure full day and night reticle availability.
Developed based on IDF requirements, the MEPRO sights has been designed with a 30mm diameter lens to ensure easy and rapid target acquisition with both eyes open; it effectively supports instinctive close-range firing in urban and CQB conditions, as well as shooting at longer distances in open- terrain operations, while under harsh environmental conditions and combat stress.
The MEPRO MOR sights features a unique simultaneous zeroing mechanism for all its aiming devices; zeroing can be conveniently performed day or night while saving time and ammunition.
Golan Kalimi ,S.V.P. Sales & Marketing – Defense – stated: “The MEPRO MOR sights is a result of successful collaboration with the IDF and has been actively utilized by diverse forces globally, including India, for several years. In this vast country, the system’s ability to endure challenging conditions, such as extreme heat and humidity, and support users in remote locations holds tremendous significance. We take immense pride in its continued operational deployment by the IDF, where it has consistently demonstrated outstanding performance in all environmental conditions. The recently secured contract with the South American state serves as further validation of the MEPRO MOR sights unwavering reliability, as it continues to garner trust from various armed forces across the world.”
