Review Summary
THE AN/PVS-21 Clip-on Thermal Module Provides Thermal Imaging Capability for the AN/PVS-21 Low-profile Night Vision Goggle. Various Spectral Bands Offer Several Unique Advantages Such As Image-intensified NIR for High-resolution Target Identification While Thermal Imaging Lets The User Rapidly Acquire Targets or See Through Smoke, Fog And Total Darkness.
Large field-of-view thermal imagery
Improved detection, recognition, identification and situational awareness
Day or night capability
Small profile and light weight
Quickly attaches to either side of the AN-PVS-21 LPNVG for greater versatility
The COTM injects its thermal imagery directly onto the eyepiece of the AN/PVS-21 LPNVG so the thermal image retains its black and white color for instant spectral-band differentiation by the operator. The COTM can also be used as a full-color capable Heads Up Display. SVGA, VGA, NTSC or PAL external video sources can be optically overlaid onto the I2 night vision scene of the AN/ PVS-21 LPNGV for greater situational awareness. Instantly switches between internal thermal imagery to external video sources (weapon sight, maps, UAV video feeds, navigation or communications.
