HENSOLDT receives further fire control sight order

The sensor specialist HENSOLDT has received a further order for the delivery of "Dynahawk" fire control sights (FLV). The customer is the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw). The order includes deliveries this year and next, with an option for further systems in 2026. The order is worth several million euros. HENSOLDT has already supplied fire control sights in previous years.

"With the 'Dynahawk', we are significantly increasing the first-hit probability on dynamic and distant targets of the deployed anti-tank weapons," says Josef Reif, Sales Manager in the Sights division. "Thanks to the FLV in conjunction with the HENSOLDT IRV-MR night vision attachment, we can also guarantee operational capability at night."

The "Dynahawk" has a 5.5x glass optical magnification and a laser rangefinder. The ballistics computer of the fire control sight, which is equipped with sensors for environmental perception (temperature, air pressure, angular rate sensor), has several modes for engaging static and dynamic targets and automatically recognises the loaded ammunition and calculates the corresponding ballistics.

The FLV also has selection options for programming the firing point. This means that bursting or air-burst ammunition can also be used with pinpoint accuracy.

The unique selling point of the FLV is its interoperability with the two weapon systems introduced into the Bundeswehr, the "Wirkmittel 90" (DND RGW90) and the "leichte Wirkmittel 1800+" (MBDA Enforcer). Both weapons can be fired without changes to the configuration of the "Dynahawk".
