SMOD (Stabilized Multi-function Observing Device) Reference
The hardest part of surveillance from a moving vehicle, is having a clear image. Every bump in
the road, on the sea or in the air will shake and distort the image. The SMOD provides a stable
platform for the observer to spot and track targets. This easy to use and compact system offers
clean images over incredible distances. Each monocular system comes standard with a
distance measuring reticle.
KEY FEATURES :
Stabilization with High Magnification
The SMOD can detect targets up to 7.5 kilometers away. The problem with such a long range,
is that the slightest movement will distort the image and possibly cause you to lose your mark.
The stabilization unit inside the SMOD allows the user to fix on his target without worrying
about his unsteady hands failing him. Each unit has a gyro stabilization unit, that uses the
physics behind centrifugal motion to keep the image stable, even when the user is unable to do
so.
Day and Night Eyepieces
Each SMOD comes standard with a Gen. III or equivalent to Gen. III image intensifier tube eye
piece. This tube offers the cleanest of images, in the darkest of nights. Combined with the glass
magnification optics, each system offers low visual noise, high resolution and contrast, and the
best possible performance. This eyepiece can be switched out for a daytime eyepiece.

REFERENCE & FEATURES
TGPS (Thermal Gunner’s Primary Sight) Reference
In the battlefield, you look for every advantage that you can get. Situations have far too many
variables to leave things up to chance. You need to be prepared for any and everything. The
TGPS integrates 3 different forms of target acquisition into one easy to use system. This
rugged system can be highly customized to fit the needs of any infantry fighting vehicle or
main battle tank.
Each unit contains a high magnification glass optic, uncooled thermal optic and CCD camera.

or a different form of vision. These forms of visual acquisition are integrated into a single unit
and are easily interchanged.
KEY FEATURES :
Three Different kinds of Views
The TGPS integrates 3 different kinds of viewers into a single unit. The thermal unit is an
uncooled thermal viewer with 2 different fields of view with different magnifications and
varying fields of view. The daytime CCD camera is a color view with a low magnification. With
a low magnification, the gunner is able to get a wider field of view and find targets within close
proximity to the armored vehicle. The glass optic has an 8x magnified view. Day or night, you
can detect targets 1.5 kilometers away.
Characteristics :
- Significantly Improved Thermal Imaging Module

REFERENCE & FEATURES
TDV (Thermal Driver’s Viewer) Reference
At night, driving in the dark is not something that seems very reliable. Driving with your lights
on gives away your position. And worst of all, a dust storm is approaching. What do you do?
The TDV allows the driver to navigate through city streets as well as the back roads in
complete darkness. The Thermal Driver’s Viewer does not require ambient light, so driving
through caves and tunnels does nothing to hinder the driver. Thermal imaging is able to see
through battlefield conditions and weather, making this an ideal system for a whole multitude
of systems.
KEY FEATURES :
High Field of View
The Night Driver’s Viewer system does not require the driver to see for miles ahead. This
results in a low magnification and a higher field of view. It is more important to see what’s
directly in front of you, not what is 5 km’s away.
Characteristics :
- No ambient light required
- Enables driving in complete darkness
- Enables driving though smoke and dust
- Can be installed to various vehicles
- Uncooled 320x240 Array
- Easy to use

System Features :
- The on-screen display can be customized. The width of the vehicle can be
displayed on the screen, to maximize comfort for the driver.
- Image compensation increases the quality of the image for a clearer view
All Condition Driving
Torrential rain, heavy fog, sandstorms and dust have all traditionally been problems when
trying to get from point a to point b in the battle field. Also being aware of your surroundings
ensures the safety of the passengers and drivers. Thermal Imaging is not effected by weather
or external conditions, making it perfect for your vehicle.
Ruggedized
This unit has been designed to withstand the harshest of conditions and increase survivability.
The unit can be broken up into modules and attached onto any armored vehicle.
Easy Integration
The TDV has been designed to be a direct replacement for the EOST NDV. Because it can be
broken up into modules, it can be applied to almost any vehicle.

PERISCOPE Reference
Sometimes it is best to go with the classics.
The EOST Periscope is currently used on multiple platforms. As warfare evolves, there will
always been a single factor thing that will be the key to a soldier’s survival, situational
awareness. There is no need to be able to see for miles, if the threat is a few yards away. By
mounting these periscopes in strategic locations, one is able to observe the general proximity,
and assess for themselves the immediate threats.
The more moving parts, the more likelihood of something breaking down. Because of the
seemingly simple design, there is little or no room for malfunctioning parts in the M and K
series periscopes.
KEY FEATURES :
Safety
The periscope allows for the users to observer their proximity without worrying about shrapnel
and flying rocks harming them.

Night Vision Technology
Image Intensifier Tubes
Night Vision is a vague term that
references the creating of an image in
situations where there are limitations
to the naked eye because of low levels
of light. There are two major types of
Night Vision that are in use today:
Thermal Imaging and Image Intensifying.
Thermal Imaging utilizes radiation and
creates an image by displaying
temperature differentials. This type of
imaging can be used in both night and
day times. During night times, it gives
the advantage of not requiring any
light. In situations such as inside caves
or sealed off buildings, there is no
ambient light. This makes image
intensified night vision useless. Also
thermal imaging is more constant.
Since all matter gives off a certain
amount of thermal energy, there will
always be an image. A soldier cannot
control the amount of light in his
surroundings. If it’s too bright or too
dark, it makes thermal imaging a much
better option.
Image intensifying technology relies
on a device called image intensifier
tubes. This tube takes the light that is
already there and amplifies it tens of
thousands of times. The major draw
back that this technology has is that it
relies on actual light. If there is no light
to amplify, then there will be no
image. Also if there is too much light,
it will damage the tube itself and
display an extremely bright image to
the user. But because light is amplified,
the image itself is an image that we
normally see with our eyes. This allows
Light is essentially photons. These photons reflected off
objects give things what we know as color and create the
images we see in everyday life. When there is a lack of these
photons, or light, the image grows dimmer until it is too dim
the user to see details that thermal
imaging would not be able to show.
For example, with thermal imaging,
the soldier would be able to see and
recognize that it is a soldier, but his
facial features, and uniform would all
be the same color. With image
intensified night vision, the user would
be able to see the details of the face as
well as the markings on the soldier’s
uniform.
Not all night vision technology is the
same. American Image Intensifier
tubes and European tubes have
significant differences but achieve
similar results. The difference comes
down to the chemical make up of the
photocathode and some of the
technology incorporated into the tubes
themselves. However, regardless of
their country of development, their
results are the same. They help soldiers
be more effective, and keep them
alive.
29
for our human eyes to differentiate any perceivable changes.
But even if we do not think there is light, there are sources
all around us at night. These tubes take this light to help us
see.
Photocathode
The photocathode is chemically treated to be ultra sensitive
to light. It can detect levels of light that we cannot with our
own eyes. As the light photons hit the objective face of the
lens, the inside face gives off electrons. There is a wide array
of chemicals that can assist in this process. Different
companies use different chemicals, but achieve similar if not
the same results.
Micro Channel Plate (MCP)
After passing through the Photocathode, the electron
particles proceed through the tube structure to the Micro
Channel Plate or MCP. The MCP is a glass plate consisting of
tiny tubes to allow for the electrons to pass through. Each
tube is oriented at an angle, causing the electrons to bounce
off the sides as it makes it’s way through the tube. The glass
is treated with a special electro conductive coating. As the
electrons bounce off the sides of the tubes, more electrons
are discharged. This is how the image is intensified. The
more electrons flow out of this plate, the brighter the image
will be.
Phosphor Screen
After the electrons go through the MCP, they then travel to
the phosphor screen. This is where the image that we see is
recreated. The electrons strike a screen of green or white
phosphor. As the charged particle hits the phosphor, it gives
off a glow. The more electrons hit the screen, the brighter
the image is. These glowing pixels combine to create the
image that we see.

Distortion
Classic : This occurs when the design of the optics is slightly
flawed to where the edges seem to curves inwards or the
square grid begins to look barreled or resemble a pin cushion
S-Distortion : When the fiber optics in the imager are flawed,
the image may start to twist. If the product is of any quality,
this distortion should be undetectable
Shear Distortion : This may occur in any scope that uses fiber
optic bundles in the phosphor screen. When the optics
become disarranged, the image may appear to look cut in
many directions.
Black Spots
These are blemishes in the image intensifier tube. This can
also occur when dirt, dust or debris enters between the lenses.
There are bound to be a few black spots of some size, but
should not effect the overall performance of the scope.
Blooming
This occurs when the scope is overloaded with electrons. The
sources that are emitting too much light will “white out” and
the whole image becomes brighter. This is a common
problem in early generation scopes.
Fixed Pattern Noise
This is a faint hexagonal pattern that often occurs under high
light conditions. This is the structure of the MCP, and is
inherent in all of both generation 2 an 3 tubes.
Scintillation
A slight random sparkling effect that is seen throughout the
image area. It is often referred to as video noise or static. This
occurs because of a innate issue with the Micro Channel Plate,
but does not become a pronounced unless in ultra-low light
conditions.
Emission Points
This is a bright spot on the imager that may or may not go
away. If the bright spot fades when in brighter light
conditions it is not a problem. If it remains, there is a problem
with the tube and will need to be repaired. These bright spots
may be so bright as to block out the image itself.

Near Infrared Radiation
This is not light. We cannot see this. But it behaves similarly
enough to light that it can be detected using the same means
as ambient light. It is a form of electro-magnetic radiation,
with a wavelength slightly longer than that of visible light.
Eye Relief
The distance the user’s eye must be from the viewing lens of
the eyepiece in order to have an optimal view
Figure of Merit
This is often referred to as the FoM. This is a unit that
qualifies the quality and exportability of a product. It is
calculated by multiplying the resolution by the signal to noise
ratio.
Footlambert
This is a unit of brightness equal to a footcandle at a distance
of one foot.
Infrared Radiation
This is radiation, that simply put, you cannot see. The
wavelength of this radiation is outside the visual spectrum.
Near IR radiation have the shortest wavelength of IR and can
be detected using night vision devices. IR with longer
wavelengths cannot be seen by Image intensifying technology
for it is not visible light.
Typically, American Image Intensifier tubes are categorized
into 4 different levels or “Generations.”
Generation 1
This generation implements all the afore mentioned
principles. It will amplify all ambient light by thousands of
times. Each generation 1 unit has some level of distortion
with a slight high pitched noise for a split second or two when
turned on, and an ambient green glow immediately after
turning the unit off. The image itself was what we know as
night vision, but there was always a high level of noise, and
low performance with low levels of ambient light. This
generation could not detect near infrared radiation.
Generation 2
This generation is generally classified by the addition of a
micro channel plate inside the tube itself. The MCP is a glass
plate that has been coated with a material that allows for the
conduction of elections onto the plate. Each plate has
thousands of tiny tubes which the image enters into. The
more electrons, the brighter the image. This MCP amplifies all
light, and considerably increases the quality and brightness of
the image. The only problem with this technology is that the
price is significantly higher than that of the first generation,
but it provides a much clearer image, especially in low light
conditions.
Generation 3
By changing the reactive chemical inside the tubes, a much
more sensitive tube has been made. Up to now, the main
chemical agent has been multi-alkali, but by changing and
upgrading this to a next level chemical material, a much more
efficient tube has been made. In American tubes, an ion film
barrier had to be installed because there were too many
electrons. This film allows for a flow of ions in one direction,
but stops them from bouncing back. There would be too
many ions trying to fit into the tubes of the MCP. The rogue
ions would bounce back off the MCP and damage the
photocathode itself. In European tubes, the Generation III
equivalent does not need the ion film barrier, but sacrifices a
little image quality in the process. In both of these kinds of
tubes, the amount of light required for a clear image has been
decreased dramatically. This has allowed for tubes to be
installed on weapons with ranges exceeding 500 meters, or
more. Both developments have greatly increased the life of
tubes.
Generation 4
This generation of tubes does not have Ion film barriers. The
biggest problem with Image Intensifying technology has
always been when there is a light source that is too bright.
Too many ions in the tube damages the tube. In American
Generation III tubes, this problem was furthered by the
increased sensitivity to low light. Generation IV technology
increases the sensitivity of the tube, while removing the need
of the ion film barrier. The result is higher sensitivity to low
light. Auto-gating technology is a development that
moderates the amount of ions that enter by simply stopping
the flow of ions in timed intervals when the flow is too great.
This allows for a greatly increased quality of image and
performance. It also prevents white spots in picture. Areas
where the light blinds the user to the general vicinity.
Image Fusion Technology
This in new technology that has recently been developed. This
technique offers the benefits of both image intensifying and
thermal imaging technology by overlaying the images over
one another. The newest developments in image fusion
technology uses software to blend the two images, taking the
clearer sections of both types of imaging and creates an
image that gives the benefits of both types of imaging.
Because this is such a new technology, it is not widely
available.

THERMAL TECHNOLOGY
Thermal Imaging is a technology that
creates an image by the differences in
temperatures between objects. It can be
implemented effectively 24 hours a day
and can be used in complete darkness.
All objects emit some amount of heat
in the form of infrared radiation.
keep the sensor cooled to very low
temperatures. The Uncooled units do
not require expensive cooling units, but
sacrifice in range and image quality.
They are also much cheaper to produce
and have better performance in battle
field conditions such as smoke and fog.
All radiation falls within the
electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared
radiation has a wavelength longer than
visual light, so it cannot be seen by the
naked eye. Infrared is typically divided
into 5 subsections: near, short, mid,
long and extreme, and the unit of
measurement is Microns. Thermal
imaging technology detects infrared
energy in the mid (1.5-5.6 microns) and
long (5.6-14 microns) range.
These differences in performance have
given each unit their specific niche on
the battlefield. A soldier fighting in
urban terrain will typically not need to
see for 5 miles. Also because high
magnification means low field of view,
the soldier is actually hindered rather
than helped. But a forward observer or
scout may find that a cooled thermal
unit is much better for acquiring targets
miles out.
Thermal imagers create a video image
based on the heat of the image. Infrared
radiation behaves in a similar fashion to
visual light: it can be optically focused
and collected. Thermal Imagers utilize
various materials whose electrical
properties change when heated. These
changes in intensity of electrical signal
levels are then translated into a video
signal. These differences result in the
different shades of grey on a video
monitor, with each shade of grey
representing a specific temperature
level.
Both types of thermal imaging have
found a very important part in modern
warfare, and give the user the edge that
they need.
Within Thermal Imaging Technology,
there are 2 main divisions: Uncooled
and Cooled. Cooled units typically
detection mid-wave IR and have a much
longer visual range. Uncooled units
have a shorter range and detect IR
typically in the long-wave IR area. But
with every system, there are drawbacks.
The Cooled units are typically much
heavier and more expensive. They
require a cooling refrigeration unit to

Resolution : The number of pixels on the detector is the
camera resolution. The higher the resolution, the finer the
image detail.
Polarity : The scene displayed is typically referred to as
“White Hot” or “Black Hot”.
Cooled : A cooled thermal imager requires the detector to be
cryogenically cooled to very cold temperatures in order to
make the detector responsive to infrared energy, making the
camera high performing, but larger and more expensive.
Uncooled : Uncooled system operate without the need for
cryogenic cooling. They are more affordable, lightweight and
require less maintenance than cooled systems. Uncooled
systems are also ideal for small package assemblies like
handheld devices.
