Weapons/ the new 12-micron technology

BAE Systems unveiled its newest thermal imaging technology on Monday.

The company’s Universal Thermal Clip-On is the first military-grade thermal weapon sight to include new micro-technology that greatly reduces lens size, total weight and battery use, while delivering improved image quality, BAE officials said.

“This 12-micron-based solution builds on our decades-long history of providing special operations and tactical customers with cutting edge thermal imaging products,” said Marc Casseres, director of Imaging and Aiming at BAE Systems. “It will allow users to detect, recognize, and defeat threats in all weather and visibility conditions, like never before.”
