Handheld optoelectronic devices are a key element in target acquisition in current military operations, especially for artillery reconnaissance and infantry reconnaissance units. This article focuses on a comparative evaluation of two optoelectronic devices of different performance classes, MOSKITO TI+ and JIM COMPACT, both manufactured by Safran Vectronix. The aim of the study is to assess whether the higher technical level of JIM COMPACT leads to a measurable improvement in target location accuracy under various field conditions. Measurements were performed under both ideal and deteriorated conditions (reduced visibility, adverse atmospheric effects) using standardized methodology with reference coordinates determined by geodetic methods. Preliminary results confirm a consistent difference in target localization accuracy between the two devices, with JIM COMPACT demonstrating lower dispersion and higher angular measurement stability, particularly at longer distances and in conditions where orientation accuracy becomes operationally critical.
