Operational Focus: Counter-UAS Readiness with HAMR-X

The HAMR-X is a rugged thermal weapon sight engineered for direct engagement and counter-UAS operations. Optimized for small to large manned and unmanned low-altitude aerial threats, it delivers extended detection range, wide field of view, high refresh rate, and high-sensitivity FPA for rapid target acquisition and tracking.

Built for continuous heavy automatic fire, HAMR-X is fully compatible with light and heavy machine guns, maintaining zero retention and consistent performance under high recoil and sustained engagements. The system includes purpose-built accessories that reduce operator distraction and enhance situational awareness in complex environments. As drone threats continue to escalate, fast detection and immediate response are critical to force protection.

GSCI Advanced Photonics presents HAMR-X (Heavy Armament Modular Recon X), a battle-proven solution actively deployed in counter-UAS operations on heavy weapon platforms. Designed for HMG and LMG systems, HAMR-X enables precise engagement of fast-moving aerial threats while maintaining control, protection, and sustained fire capability.

Key Operational Advantages:

Built for HMG/LMG platforms: engineered to withstand extreme recoil under sustained fire
Zero-lag thermal imaging : reliable target acquisition in low-visibility and night conditions
Rugged external display :clear, real-time visuals for improved situational awareness
Ergonomic remote control : optimized for heavy weapon systems, allowing convenient operation without reaching mounted controls
Plug-and-play configuration : rapid integration into existing platforms
Battle-proven performance : trusted in active operational environments

Counter-UAS Readiness:
HAMR-X can be effectively paired with RF early warning systems, enabling:

Advanced drone detection and cueing
Faster target acquisition and engagement cycles
Reduced risk of missed or late response to aerial threats

Deployment Readiness:

ITAR-Free
Market-ready
Available for rapid dispatch

In today’s threat environment, preparedness is defined by speed, integration, and reliability. HAMR-X delivers all three, enhancing heavy weapon platforms into effective counter-drone assets.

HMD-800

HMD-800 is the modernized portable display unit that transmits and displays a real-time, lag-free video signal from HAMR-X. It has been known and tested by various tactical teams throughout the world and is a perfect tool for CUAS operations. HAMR-X with HMD-800 allows the operator to conduct lengthy observation sessions and engage any threat without delays and lag, helps to engage without shouldering the weapon, reducing exposure to enemy fire, and more importantly, significantly reducing the risk of injuries from the recoil of a firearm.

The HAMR-X Imaging Modes

If firing a shot at zoom x2, Shot-Initiated Field-of-View Increase feature automatically brings the zoom to x1 to instantly increase operator’s situational awareness.
