Fire Control Systems
Advanced Sight and fire control systems (FCS)
Fire Control Systems
Rheinmetall is the world’s foremost supplier of advanced fire control systems for armed forces and special forces units. These solutions are engineered to significantly enhance engagement accuracy, situational awareness, and overall combat effectiveness for the gunner. By combining precision optics, integrated sensors, and advanced ballistic computation, they maximize the performance of both the host weapon platform and the munitions employed.
Designed for versatility and reliability, the fire control systems are optimized for a wide range of weapon types, including heavy machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, high‑velocity stand‑alone and underslung grenade launchers, low‑ and medium‑velocity systems, as well as shoulder‑fired weapons—delivering consistent performance in demanding operational environments.
The Vingmate FCS is used on medium caliber, crew served weapon systems. The intended use is as a day-night sight and fire control system, providing capabilities for all critical and non-critical mission scenarios.
The Vingmate FCS should be mounted on soft mount cradles for best performance. The weapon system can be ground mounted using a tripod, or be vehicle mounted. The complete system can be used in a wide range of climatic environments such as snow, dessert, mountain, jungle and urban warfare areas.

MR 800
The expert in the middleThe Multi-Ray 800 is a rail mounted fire control unit specially designed for 40mm low and medium velocity grenade launchers and shoulder-launched rockets (e.g. M72/AT4). With its unique light weight construction and build-in laser range finder it adds just 700 grams to the host weapon.
The Multi-Ray 800 supports multiple weapons and ballistics, it increases the precision of the weapon system and the effectiveness of the user, while simplifying training and reducing cost.
MR 500
The smart compromiseThe Multi-Ray 500 is a rail mounted fire control unit specially designed for 40mm low and medium velocity grenade launchers and shoulder-launched rockets (e.g. M72/AT4). Its unique light weight construction adds just 300 grams to the host weapon.
The Multi-Ray 500 supports multiple weapons and ballistics, it increases the effectiveness of the user, while simplifying training and reducing cost.
