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.

The Mk 153 Mod 2 is an enhanced variant, featuring an electronic modular ballistic sight (MBS) in place of the 9 mm spotting system. The MBS system consists of the AN/PSQ-23A laser rangefinder and the AN/PAS-13G Light Weapon Thermal Sight (LWTS). [21]
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.
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]
AN/PAS-13A and AN/PAS-13B are modifications of AN/PAS-13. A new AN/PAS-13A can be used in place of an AN/PAS-13 thermal sight; an AN/PAS-13B can be used in place of an AN/PAS-13 or an AN/PAS-13A. RT-206A is a modification of RT-206. A RT-206A can be used in place of an RT-206.
There are also sights that actively project an illuminated point of aim (a.k.a. "hot spot") onto the target itself so it can be observed by anyone with a direct view, such as laser sights and infrared illuminators on some night vision devices, [citation needed] as well as augmented or even virtual reality-enabled digital cameras ("smart scopes ...
