The JIM LR and MR optronic equipment for surveillance and rescue operations are designed and manufactured by the French Company Sagem. The JIM multifunction images is built on the combined know-how of Sagem and its Swiss subsidiary Vectronix. It brings together several functions in a tactical and portable housing: day and infrared vision, telemetry, laser pointing, orientation, GPS, data transmission, etc. Several hundred JIM LRs have been ordered and are in use by NATO armies – including the French Army – and by national security forces for protection, intelligence, advanced observation and combat support missions. In addition to its use by several NATO armies, the JIM LR is also used by homeland security forces, namely for border surveillance missions as part of Schengen programs (eg, in Bulgaria and Slovenia).
