Senop Oy has received a purchase order from the Finnish Defence Forces Logistic Command for deliveries of laser sights and image intensifiers to further develop soldiers’ capability to fight effectively 24/7 in demanding environments.

The order value is more than €24 million and delivery of the new systems is scheduled for the years 2023 and 2024. The significant order is a continuation of the procurement contracts made in 2020 and 2021. 

Senop Oy will provide Soldier’s Laser sights, Tactical Laser sights, and Night Vision Goggle (NVG) Monocular image intensifiers. 

The Senop LUKE Soldier’s Laser Sight is a light, simple, and robust laser sight to withstand high recoils and challenging use in military conditions. The Senop LUKE Tactical Laser Sight is a multi-functional laser sight with a visible laser, an IR laser, and an IR illuminator. The Senop EVA 40 NVG is one of the lightest high-performance NVGs on the market, utilizing cutting-edge aspheric, high-precision glass optics combined with state-of-the-art composite materials to provide a high level of usability and performance.

Senop laser sights and image intensifiers are developed in close co-operation with the Finnish Defence Forces (FDF). Intensive field tests by FDF test teams were conducted in 2019 and 2020 in demanding conditions. Special attention has been paid to the performance, ergonomics, durability, and low weight of the devices in the process of their development. Energy management is a key requirement especially in Arctic conditions. All these devices can operate both AA and CR123 batteries. The Senop EVA 40 NVG can also be equipped with an external power supply to increase its operating hours.

“We are very proud to be able to support the development of the Finnish Defence Forces’ night fighting capability with new solutions and equipment,” said Aki Korhonen, CEO of Senop. “Our professionals have supported operations in the field, thus completing ergonomics and durability of the new devices. We are also committed to providing technical support and training to the FDF during the whole introduction phase. The co-operation with FDF has been excellent.”
