The Sight Unit Small Arms, Trilux, or SUSAT, is a 4× telescopic sight, with tritium-powered illumination utilised at dusk or dawn. The full name of the current model is the SUSAT L9A1. The sight is not designed as a sniper sight, but is rather intended to be mounted on a variety of rifles and to be used by all infantrymen. Similar devices include the Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG), manufactured by Trijicon, and the Elcan Specter. SUSAT was the primary sighting system for the British Army's SA80 series weapons. It was also used with L108 and L110 light machine guns, and mounted to L7 and L111 machine guns. It was phased out and replaced by ACOG and ELCAN sight units during mid-life upgrade programmes. As of March 2025 it was still in use with much of the UK armed forces – primarily reserve, rear-echelon and for training use due to budgetary constraints. It has been used by the armies of Cameroon, Oman, Spain and Sweden. In Spain, it was fitted to the CETME LV assault rifle and has also been used on Rheinmetall MG3 machine guns.
