FLIR SABER-NIR IlluminatorFLIR SABER-NIR Illuminator
The FLIR SABER‑NIR is a mission-critical, high-power near-infrared (NIR) illuminator designed for professional tactical operations. Engineered for use with night vision (NVG) and image–intensifier (I²) imagers, it delivers unparalleled beam uniformity and adjustable output — making it a vital asset for reconnaissance, surveillance, long-range target identification, and force-protection missions.
Key Features
-
Adjustable Illumination Power
Output ranges from 5.9 mW up to 499 mW, giving you granular control depending on the operational requirement. -
Variable Beam Divergence
The beam can be manipulated from tight to wide, providing flexibility for both precision targeting and broad-area illumination. Offers a speckle-free, uniform beam profile up to ~860 nm wavelength. -
Compact & Lightweight
Weighs approximately 10.5 oz (300 g), including battery and controls — minimizing size, weight, and power (SWaP) footprint for agile deployment. -
Flexible Mounting Options
Can be mounted on a rifle for weapon-mounted applications or operated handheld for dismounted tasks. -
Battery Powered
Self-contained power for field mobility, avoiding dependence on external power sources.
Applications
-
Tactical Reconnaissance & Surveillance: Illuminate targets or terrain discreetly using NIR wavelengths, ideal for covert operations.
-
Force Protection: Use for marking safe zones, verifying positions under night conditions, or supplementing vision during high-risk maneuvers.
-
Long-Range Target Discrimination: The high output and beam control enhance feature resolution, even at distance.
-
CQB / Precision Ops: Thanks to adjustable divergence, the SABER‑NIR adapts to both close-quarters and precision engagements.
