Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS).

Abstract

Upon conclusion of Phase I of the Thermal Weapon Sight contract, several added areas which required additional design and analysis were identified. To address these items a six month extension of the TWS program was negotiated. This additional effort was to provide further insight into system design tradeoffs and would answer several important questions not addressed in Phase I. The Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS) Phase I extension concentrated on the analysis of the following two main areas: opto-mechanical design - and two-line PC HgCdTe MFPA test and evaluation. During the Phase I add-on period, the following items were evaluated for optical and opto-mechanical implications: Infrared Telescope, Infrared Imager, System Performance Trade-offs, Coating Requirements, and Display Optics.
