Equipping the operational edge.

Octopus Defence is a Polish supplier of night vision, thermal imaging, aiming systems, navigation and individual operator equipment for armed forces, special units, law enforcement and qualified professional users across the EU and NATO supply chain.

// 001 Capability domains

Five domains. One operator.

Our portfolio is structured around the disciplines that decide tactical outcome: seeing in the dark, detecting heat, placing the round, knowing position, and surviving the environment.

CAP / 01

Night Vision

Image intensification tubes, monoculars and helmet-mounted systems across GEN 2+ WP, GEN 3 and white phosphor architectures.

GEN 2+ / GEN 3 / WP
CAP / 02

Thermal Imaging

Uncooled microbolometer cores from 256x192 up to 1024x768, NETD down to 18 mK for surveillance, weapon sights and clip-on systems.

NETD ≤ 25 mK
CAP / 03

Aiming Systems

Day optics, red dots, magnifiers, laser aiming and illumination modules (visible and IR) compliant with PEQ-class doctrine.

LPVO / RDS / DBAL / PEQ
CAP / 04

Navigation

Rugged GNSS receivers, tactical compasses, range finders and field-grade timing solutions for dismounted and vehicular use.

GNSS / LRF / GIS
CAP / 05

Individual Kit

Helmets, ballistic plates, plate carriers, signaling markers, tactical illumination and EDC equipment for sustained field use.

NIJ III/IV / STANAG
// 002 Doctrine

Procurement is the mission.

Operators do not need another catalogue. They need a partner that understands export control, knows the difference between a 2376 FOM tube and a 2000 FOM tube, and can deliver the right system, certified, in time for the deployment cycle — not after it. We supply that partner.
