TACS (Thermal Acquisition Clip-On System)

April 2, 2010

For organizations equipped with standard night vision gear the NIVISYS TACS (Thermal Acquisition Clip-On System) may be an incredibly economical item to consider. When the TACS is added onto a standard light intensifier it provides the operator with a long wave infrared optical overlay image. This thermal image can extend engagement capabilities through obscurants and light cover. Not only lower in price than a full thermal system the TACS provides the operator with a choice of two "night eyes;" normal night vision or thermal enhanced night vision.

Low power consumption with optimal sensor technology is a huge advantage to the operator. The TACS unit would be ideal for budget busted and cash strapped police departments needing thermal capabilities but having only light intensifier scopes. To that end the unit (shown here on a NIVISYS MUM-14 night vision scope) will allow detection of targets at 300 meters, recognition at 260 meters and identification at 130 meters, all well within the huge majority of urban night operational limits.

Now the use of established night vision scopes may benefit from the added thermal capabilities of the NIVISYS TACS to observe suspects of interest through smoke, fog, bushes and other obscurants.
