Raytheon secures additional contract for ELCAN Specter DR sights from Danish Armed Forces

The ELCAN Specter DR is a direct-view optical sight designed to enhance both close-quarters and precision targeting. It allows users to switch instantly between magnifications while maintaining a consistent boresight, eye relief, and sight picture.

“The Specter DR dual role sight is battle-proven, enabling soldiers to be more effective on the battlefield,” said Mike Lewis, director and general manager at Raytheon ELCAN. “Raytheon ELCAN continues to work with our customers across NATO to deliver rugged, reliable optics that give our allies a competitive advantage when it matters most.”

The new Specter DR sights will replace the existing ELCAN C79 fixed 3.4x sights used by the Danish Defence. This transition aims to improve targeting capabilities by offering soldiers greater versatility in combat scenarios.

Raytheon ELCAN, based in Canada, is a leader in high-performance optical technologies for military and commercial applications. The company specialises in advanced design, engineering, and manufacturing, delivering custom optical solutions that meet stringent industry standards.
