Abstract

The Trijicon ATWS is a high performance, lightweight, compact clip on thermal sight for use with the TA31RCO ACOG® weapon sight. FLIR Systems partnered with Trijicon to develop this sight using the Photon 640 imaging core. This paper will discuss the features and performance of the ATWS and describe some of the design challenges associated with this type of device.
