EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
1.6 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The LWTS is a battery operated thermal imaging device. It
may be used as a handheld device, mounted to a weapon in
a stand-alone configuration, or used in-line with a magnified
day optic.
The thermal imaging capability of the LWTS 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 LWTS 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 LWTS can be mounted to weapons equipped with a
MIL-STD-1913 rail.
It is a ruggedized system designed for operation in battlefield
environments.
