Tonbo Imaging, a leading manufacturer of advanced thermal imaging systems, is set to equip the Indian Army with its innovative Sarisa CLIPON Thermal Sight. The Sarisa, a cooled LWIR thermal imager designed specifically for the Konkurs launcher, will be inducted into the Indian Army next week.
The Sarisa CLIPON Thermal Sight offers a significant upgrade to the Konkurs launcher’s capabilities. Integrated with a high-performance cooled thermal imaging camera, it enables soldiers to lock onto stationary or moving targets before launching a missile. Operating in the LWIR spectral range, the Sarisa can detect, recognize, and identify threats at long ranges, even in challenging day-night and adverse weather conditions.
Designed for seamless integration, the Sarisa features special mounting brackets that allow it to be attached in front of the optics channel of the Konkurs ATGM launcher. The CLIPON configuration, combined with inbuilt collimated optics, ensures that the user can engage targets using the same sight channel as the direct view optics of the Konkurs launcher. This eliminates the need for zeroing, improving operational efficiency.
To enhance durability and safety, the Sarisa boasts an ergonomically designed housing with absorbers to protect it during operation. Additionally, a face shield safeguards the gunner’s face during missile launch.
The induction of the Sarisa CLIPON Thermal Sight marks a significant step forward for the Indian Army, providing soldiers with a superior thermal imaging capability that will enhance their ability to detect and engage targets effectively.
