Multisensor binocular Archer MSB-8 is a specialized three-channel system designed for surveillance, observation of areas, and target acquisition in limited visibility conditions day and night.

The device is designed for military and security operations for infantry, special forces, intelligence gathering, infrastructure, and border surveillance.

It includes a digital day channel and an uncooled thermal imager that provides crisp images simultaneously in the visible and long-wave IR spectrum. It makes the binocular indispensable for various applications and gives greater situational awareness for nighttime scenarios.

The Archer MSB-8 is also equipped with a compact laser rangefinder of 1550 nm range, ballistic calculator, GPS and magnetic compass, enabling accurate target geolocation.

A binocular has two built-in colour high-resolution microdisplays and eyepieces with diopter adjustment and the ability to adjust the distance between the eyes. Several set colour schemes allow choosing the necessary display option depending on the tasks performed.

The multisensor binocular Archer MSB-8 can be used as a standalone hand-held unit or as a system mounted on a tripod or a pan-and-tilt platform, for example, for surveillance in a given sector.
