Night Optics TS-320 Thermal Weapon Sight

TS-320 is a thermal weapon sight manufactured by Night Optics that features multiple standard and optional reticles and video output in either PAL or NTSC. Lightweight system includes quick-release 1913 Mount.

The NO/TS-320 is a rugged, lightweight andpowerful Thermal Weapon Sight with a quickrelease,1913 Mount. Made for military, law enforcement, commercial and private use, the NO/ TS-320 is ideal for long-range target engagements in excess of 1 kilometer as well as reconnaissance and surveillance, perimeter security, wildlife observation and control, and a wide variety of other applications.

While night vision technology relies on amplification of ambient light or assisting illumination, thermal devices are completely passive, sensing extremely minute temperature differentials. The rugged NO/TS-320 combines a highly sensitive, 30μm, 320x240 uncooled, Amorphous Silicon Microbolometer Detector with real-time image processing; a 640x480 LED display; and Night Optics’ proprietary electronics sealed in a lightweight, waterproof housing. Sensitive to less than 50mK, the detector’s 7-14μm spectral response ensures the widest possible thermal coverage. The 12°x9° field of view provided by the high-grade germanium lens facilitates detection of human activity up to 1015 meters.

The NO/TS-320 Thermal Weapon Sight acquires targets in daylight and complete darkness while “seeing through” obscurants such as smoke and haze which often hinder image intensification devices. With four standard electronically-adjusted reticles plus the option to add reticles of choice, the NO/TS-320 ensures potent long-range thermal surveillance and engagements. The sensitive, uncooled thermal detector combined with a high resolution display provide crisp “white hot” or “black hot” images regardless of ambient conditions. A colorized capability is available at user request.

Additional integrated features include a proximity sensor-triggered, power conserving Standby Mode ; shortcut key for quick access to “Favorites” settings; multiple memory locations for reticles and settings; focus, brightness and contrast adjustments; whitehot/ black-hot polarity and digital zoom controls; and NTSC or PAL video-out capability. Powered by internal batteries or a 12v external power source, the NO/TS-320 converts to a hand-held monocular with built-in tripod mount and optional hand strap to ensure easy and stable use. The NO/TS-320 is the perfect all-weather, all-condition, long-range Thermal Weapon Sight.
