Introduction
There are large number of options for thermal imaging monoculars from Armasight which include the popular Scout series and the second generation HS series of monoculars which are popular options for law enforcement and military applications. The latest in the series of thermal imaging monoiculars is the Prometheus Pro family.
The Prometheus Pro is a high-performance, handheld Thermal monocular which features options like an electronic compass and inclinometer. Utilizing the FLIR TAU-2 technology, the Prometheus Pro is offered in 336x256 or 640x512 pixel formats. These options are further enhanced by professional, military-grade 50mm or 100mm Germanium (Ge) objective lenses, creating a wide variety of optical magnifications and range performance capabilities that the customer can select from. Armasight has introduced a unique dual battery option for the Prometheus Pro that consists of either four 3.0 V DC CR123A batteries or four 1.5VDC AA batteries pre-loaded in a cartridge
The Prometheus Pro uses a 9-pin multi-pin connector to provide video-in imagery, where there may be a need for map or range-finder display overlays, as well as external power access. The Prometheus Pro is the ideal tool for scouting and target detection where the ambient environment is oriented for concealment. The Prometheus Pro is also an extremely useful tool for viewing scenes through environmental obscurants such as smoke, haze, fog, or dust.
