Excelitas to Showcase Weapon Sights at the Milipol International Exhibition of Homeland Security

Qioptiq, an Excelitas Technologies^® Company and global technology leader focused on delivering innovative optical and photonic solutions, will highlight its wide array of weapon sights for defense applications at the Milipol International Exhibition of Homeland Security.

Solutions on display in Qioptiq’s exhibit (booth 1820) include:

• KITE In-Line Weapon Sight: KITE In-Line is a compact night sighting system that is mounted on a weapon in front of a magnified day sight. It uses image intensification technology to amplify the small amount of light energy available at nighttime to present soldiers with a clear bright image of the night scene at distances beyond 1,000m.
• KITE Weapon Mounted Night Sight: A compact and lightweight military standard night vision sight, KITE is designed specifically for short-to-medium range surveillance and target engagement. The fully ruggedized and qualified product offers x4 magnification and a high-resolution image to allow effective operation during lowlight conditions. Image intensifier options including high-performance European or U.S. image intensifier tubes are available.
• DRAGON-C 640 Uncooled Thermal Imager Multi-Purpose Thermal Sight: The compact ultra-lightweight multi-purpose thermal weapon/surveillance sight provides all round capability for the dismounted close combat user. DRAGON-C 640 can be fitted with Qioptiq's LO GLINT coating technology to reduce sunlight glint and reflection as an option.
• DRAGON-S (Sniper) Clip On Thermal Weapon Sight: DRAGON-S provides snipers with 24-hour surveillance and target engagement capability for a range of optical dayscopes. It is factory set to eliminate the need for zeroing when the thermal sight is fitted and removed from the front of the dayscope.
