Steiner-Optik is unveiling the M830rc X LRF 1535nm — a laser rangefinder binocular now featuring seamless connectivity to the A.T.A.K. (Android Tactical Assault Kit) Battle Management System. Through a newly developed interface, targets lased with the M830rc X LRF are instantly transferred into the A.T.A.K. Battle Management System and displayed on a shared, real-time digital map — immediately visible to all users across the network.
The integration is activated through a straightforward software update to the binocular’s Bluetooth module, ensuring full compatibility with both newly acquired and previously fielded M830rc X LRF 1535nm units. Once updated, operators can transmit a lased target’s bearing, distance and elevation angle directly to the Battle Management System at the press of a single button. In conjunction with the built-in GPS receiver, the system automatically calculates and plots precise target coordinates on the digital situation map. Operators can further enrich each target entry with additional information — such as target type, estimated strength and observed behaviour — via the connected smart device, making it instantly available to all users within the network. The result is a significant improvement in the speed and accuracy of intelligence dissemination: manual data entry is eliminated, along with the associated risk of human error in relaying time-critical position data. M830rc X LRF 1535nm
The M830rc X LRF 1535nm represents the latest generation of laser rangefinder binoculars and combines advanced sensor integration with enhanced operational capability. Designed for extreme operational and environmental conditions, the system consolidates several mission-critical functions into a particularly rugged and compact form factor:
• At a system weight of just 950 grams, the binocular’s 8x magnification and 30 mm
objective diameter deliver sharp, high-contrast imagery at the highest resolution for
effective situational observation.
• The integrated laser rangefinder is eye-safe in accordance with EN and FDA Class 1
standards and operates at a wavelength of 1,535 nanometres, rendering it undetectable by
the naked eye as well as by common night-vision devices. In addition to single-shot
measurements, a continuous scan mode for ongoing rangefinding is also available.
• An integrated reticle enables distance estimation and size determination of objects, as well
as the adjustment of indirect fire using the mil-relation method — without requiring any
power supply or emitting any signals.
• Additional sensors include an inclinometer with a measuring range of +/– 89 degrees and an integrated compass displaying bearing either in the 360-degree or the artillery 6,400-mil system.
• Via Bluetooth or a wired interface, the M830rc X LRF 1535nm can be networked with a range of compatible devices — including Steiner IFS-series riflescopes, Kestrel wind meters and Garmin navigation devices — enabling seamless exchange of relevant data such as measured distance, heading, wind speed and GPS coordinates.
• A simplified user interface with two central control buttons ensures fast and reliable operation, even under combat-stress conditions.
