Raytheon AN/PAS-13 Thermal Weapon Sight

摘要

The Raytheon AN/PAS-13 Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS) provides soldiers with individual and crew served weapons the capability to see deep into the battlefield. It increases surveillance and target acquisition range, and penetrates obscurants either day or night. The TWS systems use uncooled, forward-looking infrared technology. It provides a standard video output for training, image transfer or remote viewing. TWS are lightweight systems that soldiers can mount on a weapon rail and operate to the maximum effective range of the weapon. PM SMS included 17 micron technology in FY12 awards. This resulted in size, weight and power improvements over present configurations.
