Armasight by FLIR Predator 640 1-8x25 Thermal Imaging Weapon Sight (30Hz)

The Armasight by FLIR Predator 640 1-8x25 Thermal Imaging Weapon Sight is a solid state, uncooled, long-wave infrared, magnified dedicated weapon scope intended for day and night engagements without the need to remove the sight from the rifle. The 24/7 mission capability is just one of its many strengths. Thermal imaging technology also allows you to detect targets by cutting through snow, dust, smoke, fog, haze, and other atmospheric obscurants. The lightweight and intuitive weapon sight offers multiple user-controlled palettes and reticles for better target visibility and shot accuracy. Additionally, the multiple user-controlled reticles and 25mm lens allows for rapid target acquisition in complete darkness and low-visibility weather conditions.

Simple and Intuitive Controls

The Predator thermal imaging weapon sight is characterized by their simple and intuitive controls, functions, and features that are layered among direct button adjustments, direct combination button functions, and electronic menu selections. It has a series of selectable color modes based on a rich, upgradeable software package. A wireless remote switch is included to activate the Predator thermal imaging weapon sight when positioned in the standby mode. The Predator has the ability to record videos using the optional Digital Video Recorder and is also equipped with a video-out capability in operator selectable NTSC or PAL formats.

Active Contrast Enhancement (ACE)

This digital Contrast correction tool allows for a smart scene optimization based on dynamic adjustments where a variety of contrast levels occur depending on relative scene temperature.

Second Generation Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE)

The second generation Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) is a sharpness correction tool that digitally enhances the picture to present clearer imagery and significantly improves edge sharpening and further reduces image noise.

Smart Scene Optimization (SSO)

The Smart Scene Optimization allows fine-tuning computational correction that significantly improves an overall visual acuity for targets that have thermal signatures similar to a surrounding background.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

The Automatic Gain Control is a gain correction tool that is used to automatically adjust the gain to an appropriate range, the weaker the image signal, the stronger the gain.

User-Controlled Manual Non-Uniformity Correction/Flat-Field Correction (UCMNUC/FFC)

There is a mechanical shutter between the camera sensor and the lens. This shutter is used to perform a non-uniformity correction (NUC) also known as Flat-Field Correction (FFC). During FFC, the shutter presents a uniform temperature source to each detector element in the array. While imaging the flat-field source, the camera updates the offset correction coefficients, resulting in a more uniform image after the process is complete.

Silent Shutterless NUC (SSN)

In addition to user-controlled manual NUC/FFC all this Zeus model employs a digital supplemental non-mechanical flat-field correction that allows to extend the periods between mechanical shutter events and to further reduce image noise. SSN is always ON enhancement.
