FOU-AEG-2

Forward Observation Unit

FOU-AEG-2 is an optoelectronic device used for general observation and positional awareness.

It provides the user with positional data for both himself and his chosen target, using a built in laser rangefinder, personal GPS and a digital compass.

The device is equipped with a daytime camera and a thermal camera in order to ensure complete day/night usability. The unit is designed to perform under harsh environmental conditions, as defined by military standards.
