EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

1.6 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The CNVD-T is a battery operated, handheld or weapon-

mounted, thermal imaging device. It allows for observation,

target identification, and target acquisition during the day or

in adverse conditions such as light rain, light snow, dry

smoke, and low light to total darkness. The unit will not

allow the user to see through glass, water, or heavy rain /

snow.

The CNVD-T detects and displays available thermal

signatures to provide rapid cueing to the operator of potential

targets or danger. The sight is passive and does not emit

visible or infrared light (except from the eyepiece) that can

be detected by the enemy.

The CNVD-T can be mounted to weapons equipped with a

MIL-STD-1913 rail. It may also be used in conjunction with

other optical and red dot sights.

It is a ruggedized system designed for operation in battlefield

environments.
