The US army has awarded DRS Technologies a $120m order for low-power uncooled thermal weapon sight II bridge systems to help warfighters see what cannot be seen with the naked eye.
DRS's TWS II bridge family of light, medium and heavy-weapon sights use commercially available L-91 AA batteries for power and offer advanced, uncooled thermal imaging sensors.
The sight technology allows users to look deep into the battlefield through darkness, smoke, dust, fog and degraded weather conditions. The lightweight sights produce crisp thermal images of critical targets to improve surveillance and target-acquisition ranges while enhancing situational awareness and decision making.
