Two IR lights, one on each side of the main gun, continuously emit coded pulsed-IR jamming when an incoming ATGM has been detected. Shtora-1 has twelve smoke grenade launchers and weighs 400 kg. It can lay a 15 meter high and 20 meter wide smoke screen in three seconds that lasts about twenty seconds at ranges from 50 to 70 meters. [ 5 ]
Infrared homing is a passive weapon guidance system which uses the infrared (IR) light emission from a target to track and follow it seamlessly. [1] Missiles which use infrared seeking are often referred to as "heat-seekers" since infrared is radiated strongly by hot bodies.
It consisted of a specialized mount, active infrared spotlight and accompanying image converter. In the later stages of World War II the bulky FG 1250 active infrared unit was paired to some MG 42 's on Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Falke half-track armored personnel carriers [ 3 ] and MG 34 's on PzKpfw V Panther tanks.
The ZG 1229 Vampir weighed 2.26 kilograms (5.0 lb) and was fitted with lugs on the StG 44 at C.G. Haenel in Suhl, the weapons production facility.As well as the sight and infrared spotlight, there was a wooden-cased battery for the light weighing 13.59 kilograms (30.0 lb), and a second battery fitted inside a gas mask container to power the image converter.
Any IR light falling on the sensor would generate a "pip" on the display, in a fashion similar to the B-scopes used on early radars. The display was primarily intended to allow the radar operator to manually turn the radar to the approximate angle of the target, in an era when radar systems had to be "locked on" by hand.
The AN/PEQ-2 succeeded the AN/PAQ-4C, which was designed in the early 1990s after the Persian Gulf War. [4] It was widely used by US forces during the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War. [5] [6] [7] The device is still seeing active service but is being withdrawn and replaced amongst U.S. Armed Forces.
Polish BRDM-2 with the opened shutters, an IR spotlight, side TNP-A periscopes and a trim board in front [1] The engine is larger than the BRDM's (it is a 140 hp V-8 instead of a 90 hp 6-cylinder). The BRDM-2 has an IR spotlight and four IR driving lights, as well as an over pressure collective NBC filter system.
Right side of a T-62 tank showing the large L-2 Luna IR spotlight similar to the upgraded PT-85 tank. Early examples of the Model 1981 "Shin'heung" tank have shown a 9M14 Malyutka (AT-3 "Sagger") anti-tank guided missile installed on top of the turret directly above the main gun, and with two lights on the front of either side of the hull.
