Model: AN/PAS-20

Special Features:

Hand held thermal imager convertselectromagnetic thermal eneergy radiated from an object into electronic video signals. Signals are amplified & transmitted to the video processing part of the sight where the signals are further amplified & the resultant image is displayed on the cathode ray tube, or via an interconnecting cable to a monitor unit or recorded on a vcr; provides nighttime observation

Properties:

A combination of items, such as a receiver, infrared, display unit, and the like which converts ambient scene thermal radiation into a form of energy that accurately depicts the spatial details of the scene. It is limited to a straight or backward field of view. It can be processed electronically or may be displayed visually to an operator as a still image. Excludes forward looking infrared imaging system.
