Tactical Night Sight® (TaNS®)
shown installed on the M4. |
The
Tactical Night Sight® (TaNS®) is a
high-resolution Clip-on Night Vision
Device (CNVD) that mounts on any
MIL-STD-1913 rail interface forward of
an existing scope, adding night vision
capabilities to daytime target
acquisition platforms. The Tactical Night Sight® (TaNS®) utilizes a Gen 3
1200 FOM image intensifier tube, a fast
f/0.9 catadioptric lens for a brighter
and sharper image in starlight, and
patented permanent boresight alignment
technology. The unit is installed,
operated, and removed without tools and
without affecting boresight (permanent
boresight alignment). The unit can be
mounted on a spotting scope for long
range reconnaissance, hand-held as a
Night Observation Device (NOD), or used
in other night-time operations requiring
night vision capabilities. The TaNS®
features the proprietary and
patent-applied-for Modular Utilitarian
Power-Pack System™ (MUPPS™), a
detachable, field-replaceable battery
compartment that accommodates either AA
or CR123 batteries. Also standard on
TaNS® is a temperature-compensated
low-battery indicator that appears
intermittently in the operator’s field
of vision (when approximately 30 minutes
of battery service remains) but does not
obstruct or otherwise interfere with the
target image. Optimized for close combat
assault rifles including the M4, M16,
HK416 and the AK47. |
