TACTICAL LASER RANGE FINDER WITH
BALLISTIC COMPUTER
§ The Fire Control System “TacRay Ballistic” (FCS-TRB)
from Rheinmetall Soldier Electronics (RSE) includes
the advanced, combat proven laserblock
technology of the RSE LM-VTAL.
§ In addition to the powerful variable infrared
illuminator and the two aiming lasers (infrared and
visible) the FCS-TRB´includes a tactical laser range
finder (LRF) in a worldclass compact and
lightweight package and a precise ballistic
computer.
§ The high-precision LRF is integrated into the
factory-aligned laser block of the FCS-TacRay
Ballistic to simplify adjustment to the weapon
sight.
§ The dimmable OLED display shows the distance to
the target. With the click settings calculated by the
integrated ballistic calculator, shown in the display,
the shooter can adjust his scope accordingly.
§ All these features allow snipers with the FCS-TRB to
increase and improve the first round hit probability.
