Light Weapon Thermal Sight (LWTS-LR)

The LWTS-LR is a next-gen long-range weapon-mounted thermal sight. The thermal imaging capability of the LWTS-LR allows for long-wave infrared observation and target identification under adverse conditions, including light rain, smoke, light snow and low light to total darkness. The LWTS-LR utilizes leading-edge 17 μm technology in a 640 x 480 uncooled microbolometer. The high-resolution display, combined with state-of-the-art image processing and electronics, provides exceptional imagery and long-mission run times on a single battery load.

-    Can be used as long-range weapon-mounted or handheld stand-alone thermal sight with greater than 2,500m detection range for sniper and reconnaissance missions

-    Expands clip-on thermal capability of LWTS across full spectrum of medium- and heavy-caliber weapon platforms

-    Greater than 80% improvement in Detection, Recognition, Identification (DRI) range relative to standard LWTS

-    Designed for use with various Direct View Optics (DVO) such as ACOG™, M68, MDO, SDO and ELCAN™

-    Leverages mission-proven 640 x 480 17 μm uncooled micro bolometer technology (6,700+ LWTS delivered/fielded to date by U.S. Armed Forces)

-    RS-170 real-time video in/out for remote viewing

-    Integrated shutter for hands-free non-uniformity calibration

-    Ergonomically designed and easy-to-use controls for rapid adjustments

-    Less than two Minutes Of Angle (MOA) image shift retention in clip-on mode

-    Customizable five integrated ballistic weapon reticles bore-sightable to less than one MOA for use in stand-alone mode

-    Fully field-maintainable

-    Optional WPAN® wireless pod available
