Company "Argus-NV" specialized on development and production of opto-electronic devices for civil and special purposes presented updated and updated line of devices under "INFRATECH" trademark at VI International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2020".

The event was held at the Exhibition and Convention Centre in Patriot Park, Alabino Firing Range, Kubinka airfield, as well as at 66 sites located in military districts and the Northern Fleet from August 23 to 29. The Forum is one of the key events of the year. It was attended by almost 1.5 million people.

At the present time, INFRATECH's products include observation and pointing devices, monoculars, night vision and thermal imaging day sights and lens mounts, diode and laser infrared illuminators and target designators, innovative mounts for sights and mounts on small arms, rangefinder systems and other accessories. The above products are designed for a variety of tasks, including:

• short- and long-range hunting at any time of day;
• night patrolling and protection of borders, objects, coast guard;
• all-weather and round-the-clock surveillance;
• technical equipment for special law enforcement units;
• support of special events and operations and much more.

Modernized thermal imaging devices for surveillance, object detection and target shooting at any time of the day - thermal imaging sights "Phobos", "Atlas", "Chimera", "Deimos" were demonstrated at the forum; thermal imaging nozzles - "Titan" and "Talos"; and also several novelties and unique developments for different purposes, including collimator sights, swivel mounts for sea and land applications; quick-release brackets, etc.

At the booth of the Russian Navy there was a gun-mounted swivel stay intended for mounting of 12.7 mm KORD and 7.62 PKP/KPM machine guns on small speedboats as well as on other ships of various purposes.

The use of a scissor-type joint makes it possible to increase the firing range and maneuver fire without moving the gunner relative to the rack in conditions of limited space. The rack height can also be adjusted in relation to the ship's side and to the gunner's height. It is important to note that the machine gunner can be changed without additional devices by one person.

They also demonstrated a unprecedented in the world thermal sight enabling the gunner to dive into sea water down to 30 m and use it for its intended purpose as soon as it comes to the surface. In this sight the water-tightness is increased, and the controls are made as convenient as possible for combat swimmers.

During all the days of the Forum "Army-2020" an increased interest of participants and guests of the event to INFRATECH products, including foreign delegations from Serbia, India, Belarus, Rwanda, Chile, Turkey and a number of other countries, was observed.

"The company management and specialists assess positively the results of the forum, prepare contractual documents for signing based on the achieved agreements and look forward with confidence to the future - the goals have been set, promising developments are underway, samples are being tested in real conditions," the company added.

About the forum

Every year the International Military-Technical Forum "Army" confirms its status of one of the leading exhibitions of arms, military and special equipment, and an authoritative platform for discussing the development and strengthening of international military and military-technical cooperation.

The key indicators of the "Army" clearly demonstrate the high level of the event - the number of participating countries is growing every year, the area occupied is increasing and the amounts and the number of concluded contracts are steadily increasing.

This year the military-technical forum "Army-2020" was attended by more than 1.5 thousand organizations and enterprises, mostly from Russia. They presented about 28 thousand exhibits of various kinds, and several hundreds of products entered the open exposition for the first time.

The forum was combined with the "Army International Games - 2020", which was attended by specialists from such countries as Belarus, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, China, Vietnam, the Republic of the Congo and others.

Despite the difficult epidemiological situation in the world, the forum was held at the highest level and was accompanied by visits of representatives from other countries. The International Military and Technical Forum was an ideal place to find new companies for mutually beneficial cooperation, strengthen partner relations, find interested customers, and demonstrate its products to people of different professions and ages.

In addition, the forum also included a business program, in which the participants of the event discussed current topics of the industry and promising developments in science and technology.
