NVISYS  - NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT

Light Weight Thermal Imaging Systems

Nivisys, LLC is proud to announce the development of a new line of affordable uncooled thermal imaging systems.  The new line introduces new features and technologies as well as programming and accessory upgrades to its core UTAM, UTAC, TAWS and TAG systems which have been in production in Tempe, Arizona for more than 3 years. The new systems will be introduced at the LAAD show in Rio de Janeiro in April 2013. The systems combine performance features with affordability to attract customers for whom the high cost of thermal imagers has been an entry barrier. All Nivisys systems are built using US manufactured LWIR thermal cores, with a rugged molded ULTEM housing resulting in a system that is lightweight and can easily be hand-held, or weapon mounted.

New models being introduced are:

·         UTAM-16cS  Combines the features of a hand-held unit and a short range weapon sight in the smallest and lightest package at a total weight of 430g.

·         TAWS-16cM  is a thermal weapon sight with 2.3X optical magnification and detection range up to 700m.

·         UTAC-16cS  is a compact clip-on sight which provides simple 24hr weapon aiming capability by installing in front of a bore-sighted day optic.

·         TAG-16cM and TAG-16cL  are hand-held thermal binoculars with 35mm or 60mm for long range observation.

All models use a color VGA display with multiple color and monochrome viewing modes to provide the best target contrast for the task and scene at hand. A choice of 5 user selectable reticle styles is available, with Red, White or Green color options.

Nivisys Product Designer Engineer John Danielson states, “There is always and give and take when designing a product that is high in quality and low in cost.  Feedback from local and international customers have given valuable direction to our design team to create a list of system requirements that will best fit current operational needs.  The valuable connection between our company and our customers have fueled this design and because of it, high-performace thermal imagers will be available to markets who depend on value products.”
