A weapons fire control system (FCS) being developed by Norwegian company Vinghog is to use eMagin's SVGA+ active matrix organic light emitting diode (OLED)-on-silicon microdisplay.
A weapons fire control system (FCS) being developed by Norwegian company Vinghog is to use eMagin's SVGA+ active matrix organic light emitting diode (OLED)-on-silicon microdisplay. The FCS is part of Norway's Soldier Modernisation Programme. Vinghog designed the system as a stand-alone universal sight for all weapons and calibre from 5.56mm to 40mm automatic grenade launchers.

The Vingsight FCS uses a see-through OLED microdisplay to deliver graphic and text information as overlays on the target image. The overlays show the user's own position, target position, waypoint indication, and bank and arrow indication for direction. In addition, an integrated camera provides enhanced low-light operation. The Vingsight system also contains a laser rangefinder, digital magnetic compass, GPS, motion and temperature sensors, and storage capacity for ten images. It communicates vie the USB2 standard.

Trygve Egenes, managing director at Vinghog, says: "The OLED display can deliver the brightness we need for daylight and low-light applications at temperatures starting at -40degreesC. Its low power and weight make it ideal for the Vingsight."
