Overview
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, provide exceptional imagery and long-mission run times on a single battery load.
