The follow-on order will include light, medium and heavy-weapon thermal sights, which will enable soldiers to conduct day / night surveillance and target acquisition.
The TWS uses 25-micron uncooled vanadium oxide (VOx) detectors to provide the troops with a clear view of the battlefield and to accurately detect targets.
About 50,000 TWS have been manufactured and delivered to the US Army to date since 2004.
