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.

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.

A USAF Airman using an M4 carbine with an AN/PEQ-15 laser sight U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division using IR laser sights seen through a night vision device on a training exercise in Iraq. The use of laser sights is associated with increased accuracy in general, increasing the probability of hitting the target especially in low light conditions.
AN/PVS-4 (Night Vision Sight, Individual Served Weapon, AN/PVS-4) is the U.S. military designation for a specification of the first second generation passive Night vision device. The AN/PVS-4 first saw widespread use during the Gulf War and later some deployment in the Iraq War and has since been replaced by modern third-generation weapon sights.
Telescopic sights are used with all types of systems that require magnification in addition to reliable visual aiming, as opposed to non-magnifying iron sights, reflector (reflex) sights, holographic sights or laser sights, and are most commonly found on long-barrel firearms, particularly rifles, usually via a scope mount.
The thermal camera is based on the Catherine-FC from the French company Thales, similar to the Russian Sosna-U gunner's sight. [4] The identification range on the thermal camera is 500 metres less than the day channel, giving a maximum of 5000 metres for detection.
