Night-vision applications - the aim of the sighting device with two eyepieces

摘要

The invention relates to aiming sights for firearms with a light intensifier. A firearm (31) may be provided with a camera (1) which permits the infantryman to take aim whilst remaining protected, in order to render safer certain types of firing. The aim of the invention is to provide said function at night. Said aim is achieved, whereby a night vision aiming sight (2) with light intensifier, having two optical paths is provided on the firearm (31). The first optical path provides an intensified image to the camera (1), arranged on the firearm (1). The second path provides the person firing with a directly observable intensified image. In one embodiment, the sight (2) also comprises a display (282) which provides the infantryman with supplementary information superimposed on the intensified images.
