New Delhi, Oct. 16 -- The Ministry of Defence today signed a contract agreement worth Rs 659.47 crore for procurement of night sight (image intensifier) for 7.62 x 51mm assault rifle along with accessories for the Indian Army.
The night sight will enable soldiers to fully exploit the longer effective range of the SIG 716 Assault Rifle, a Defence Ministry statement said.
These sights are capable of engaging targets up to an effective range of 500 metres, even under starlit conditions and provide a significant improvement over the existing Passive Night Sights (PNS).
