Armasight is adding to their
line of thermal and NV products...Armasight Introduces Multifunctional Thermal Imaging MonocularArmasight is proud to introduce the Q14 Long-wave Infrared Multifunctional Thermal Imaging
Monocular (LIMTIM) representing the latest evolution in our never-ceasing quest to reduce size,
weight, and power (SWaP) while maximizing the number of available features and functions.
The LIMTIM’s remarkably compact size ensures that it can be concealed in a shirt pocket and its
featherweight mass at 240g with battery gives claim to it being the lightest fully multi-functional
thermal imager currently on the market. The LIMTIM has a wide range of features incorporated
into the unit that put it at the forefront of all other miniature thermal imagers in its class. It can be
equipped with either a visible or near-IR laser pointer intended for handing off targets of interest to
non-thermal equipped assets in the field. It has two integral rail mounts so that it is not necessary
to disengage the head/helmet mount interface in order to mount the unit on a weapon as a standalone
short-range weapon sight. The mini-rail design allows for mounting on a wide variety of inservice
head mounts, helmet mounts, reflex cameras, digital video recorders, and
MIL-STD-1913 weapon rail systems using the optional quick-release interfaces. The mini-rails are
non-invasive enough where handheld operation is comfortable and ergonomically optimized to
the operator’s hands - NOMEX gloved or not. Equipped with digital compass and inclinometer, the
Q14 LIMTIM offers the operator the tools necessary to interpolate accurate distance to target and
target orientation.
Additional Armasight proprietary hyper-image processing (HIP) code provides the LIMTIM with
a robust library of software features to tailor the image to the optimum standards required of
the operator. These features include direct button functions such as display brightness, palette
selection, electronic zoom, manual non-uniformity correction (NUC) using a simple, intuitive three
button keypad. Menu driven features incorporate desirable operator-specific adjustments such as
palette selection, reticule selection and color, weapon boresight, scene-related imaging corrections,
stored rifle caliber profiles, format selection, compass calibration sequence, and a “factory settings”
default option. The wireless remote capability and Bluetooth features prevents the Q14 LIMTIM from
becoming obsolete as new applications and software reaches maturity and comes to market. The
nine-pin connector on the Q14 reveals the dynamic nature of this mite-sized powerhouse. Through
the multi-pin connector, the operator can record video using the Armasight Digital Video Recorder
(DVR), augment the battery life by attaching to external battery options, inject target range data
from an externally mounted Armasight laser rangefinder and update/upload new software revision
and applications from personal accounts associated with the Armasight customer access web sites.
The Q14 LIMTIM is designed from inception to be waterproof to 20 meter and meet all the established
environmental requirements of MIL-STD-810(G).
Operating off a variety of 123A format commercial expendable and rechargeable batteries, the Q14
LIMTIM offers a respectable 1+ hours run time for the 640x512 focal plane array format. With a
diopter range of -5 to +5 diopters and a focus range of 20cm to infinity, the LIMTIM demonstrates its
operational flexibility for all mission applications.
