Description
Day-Night Thermal Sight System (DNTSS) is a 2nd
generation infrared sight (FLIR) designed for armoured
vehicles. DNTSS, gives the gunner the capability to survey
the battlefield and detect, recognize, acquire and engage
treats in adverse conditions like dust, smoke, fire and
camouflage. The passive imaging provides fully covert
surveillance.
DNTSS provides these capabilities by giving the gunner
the choise of viewing the battlefield with optics telescope
(Day view sensor), day television sensor (Day TV Sensor) or
a thermal imaging sensor (Thermal Sensor). All the sensors
have two fields of view. The direct view telescope is viewed
through a seperate eye piece. The day TV and thermal image
are viewed through a video display unit (VDU). Both gunner
and commender have VDUs and can independently select day or
thermal view. DNTSS integrates into the Turkish Land Forces
Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicles (AIFV). The Thermal Sight
utilizes state of the art 4 x 240 = 960, 2.nd generation
Focal Plane Array (FPA) Infra Red detector technology which
enchances tactical ranges over 2X compared to similar
products. Turkish Land Forces is the first organization to
field such serial produced systems with this technology.
Built in features enables the DNTS to be integrated into a
full solution fire control system without any modification
to the base equipment.
It is possible to entegrate the system to other land, sea
and airborne platforms. The digital signal processing within
DNTSS enables it to be compatible with the digital battle
field concept of the future, its tactical and technical
superiority is an assurance for employment in such
platforms.
