American Technologies Network has released the ThermoSight T50, a mission-flexible thermal sight that can be utilized as a weapon sight or a handheld rugged imager for scouting, surveillance, or covert operations.

The ThermoSight T50 is compatible with standard day optics such as the Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) Model TA31, 4x32 that maintains the boresight even through extensive rounds of firing, field of view and keeps the reticle calibrated. The longwave thermal imaging sensor provides crisp imagery through fog, smoke, dust, to total darkness. The operator friendly sight is lightweight and portable and operates with single-button controls for basic image adjustment. A rubber shroud ensures complete obscurity for covert operations by eliminating illumination of the operator from the viewfinder.
