The Individual Weapon Sights (IWS) are an advanced set of clip-on infrared weapon sights, based on Leonardo DRS’ field-proven 17 μm thermal sensor technology. The IWS combines rugged, lightweight, modular construction with superior thermal imaging technology to give today’s Warfighter the capability to maintain uncompromising performance in day or night and in smoke or fog, significantly increasing survivability and decisive operations on the battlefield.

At the core of the IWS lies decades of experience in the uncooled infrared (IR) weapon systems field. The sight employs a proprietary high sensitivity vanadium oxide (VOx) focal plane array (FPA). The IR FPA requires no visible light to operate and will not shut down or create glare when exposed to direct light. The IWS operates silently and emits minimal heat and radio frequency (RF) energy, ideal for undetected reconnaissance. It also has a built in UWB wireless transmitter that allow the IWS to link to windows based tablets, android based tablets and phones, wireless equipped goggles and helmet mounted displays. IWS run time is 11 hours on three AA batteries allowing for longer mission and surveillance times without a battery change.
