A pair of marines scan with M16A4 rifles in Fallujah, Iraq (December 2004); the one in the foreground has an ITL MARS attached via a MIL-STD-1913 "Picatinny rail".. The ITL MARS (multi-purpose aiming reflex sight) is a gun sight that combines two sighting devices, a reflex sight and a laser sight, as well as a backup iron sight.
A thermographic weapon sight, thermal imagery scope or thermal weapon sight is a sighting device combining a compact thermographic camera and an aiming reticle. [1] They can be mounted on a variety of small arms as well as some heavier weapons. [2] As with regular ultraviolet sensors, thermal weapon sights can operate in total darkness.
AN/PAS-24: ObservIR Recon III Thermal Imager with laser rangefinder: Teledyne FLIR: AN/PAS-25: Thermal Laser Spot Imager (TLSI) with "SeeSPOT" capability for aiding with target designation: Elbit Systems: AN/PAS-26: Thermal imager with laser rangefinder (FLIR Recon III Lite) Teledyne FLIR: AN/PAS-27: Individual Weapon Night Sight-Thermal (IWNS ...
The thermal imaging sensor within the sight requires a low temperature to operate, so a cool-down time of less than 2 minutes is required at startup. The AN/PAS-13B comes in two variants, the medium AN/PAS-13B(V)1 and the heavy AN/PAS-13B(V)2. The medium has a smaller telescope attached, resulting in a zoom of 5x compared to the heavy's 10x.
Singaporean soldier aiming a SAR 21 with laser sight. A laser sight is a device attached or integral to a firearm to aid target acquisition. Unlike optical and iron sights where the user looks through the device to aim at the target, laser sights project a beam onto the target, providing a visual reference point.
The ENVG-B can also display wirelessly transmitted weapon sight crosshair and thermal imagery from the Family of Weapon Sights-Individual (FWS-I) thermal imager mounted on a weapon. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] The image-intensifying tubes also allows the user to illuminate, designate, and engage targets conventionally with weapon-mounted infrared laser ...
The Special Operations Peculiar MODification (SOPMOD) kit is an accessory system for the M4A1 carbine, CQBR, FN SCAR Mk 16/17, HK416 and other weapons used by United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) special forces units, though it is not specific to SOCOM.
The laser sight produces an infrared beam that is visible only through an NVD and aids with aiming. [3] Some night vision devices are made to be mounted to firearms. These can be used in conjunction with weapon sights or standalone; some thermal weapon sights have been designed to provide similar capabilities. [4]
