The FLIR T70 Advanced Combat Thermal Sight – Short Range (ACTS-SR) is an uncooled thermal clip-on weapon sight with a low, in-line opto-mechanical profile suitable for modern weaponry with flip-down or removable front sight posts. The low profile compliments current Rifle Combat Optics (RCO’s) and minimizes height above the rail. The ACTS-SR provides scene clarity and allows the use of false color to enable rapid target acquisition and firing solutions using a high density, color Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED).



The ACTS-SR has been specifically designed and optimized for weapons utilizing the NATO 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm rounds with an approximate 500 meter range. The size and weight make it ideal for tactical small arms such as the FN SCAR-MK16/17, M4/M16, SR25, and other 5.56/7.62 platforms. The default Field of View (1x) enables center of mass hits at 500 meters. A 1.5x or wide Field of View mode allows the operator to display a wide area of regard for situational awareness or simply scanning for potential threats.

The ACTS-SR converts the operation of day scopes to thermal imaging, extending the useful period operation from daylight into nighttime. By mounting the ACTS-SR directly in front of the day scope, the operator can view the same scene with the ability to sense infrared energy (heat) in all lighting conditions. The ACTS-SR can also be used as a stand alone weapon sight and handheld thermal viewer.

The ACTS-SR is powered by the three AA batteries or two CR123 batteries. Battery life is approximately 5 hours at 20 degrees C with three lithium AA batteries and 4 hours at 20 degrees C with two CR123 batteries. The batteries can be removed and replaced in the field without removing the ACTS-SR from the weapon system.

The FLIR T70 was developed for SOCOM for use with short range magnified optics such as the Trijicon ACOG and Elcan Specter-DR. It is optimized to provide the best image when paired with 4x magnification, but can be used with scopes up to 5-6x without much loss of image fidelity due to its native 640×512 sensor. This high resolution sensor provides incredibly crisp detail and shading for rich images and easier target identification.

The FLIR T70 features the standard white hot/black hot polarity modes. But, it also has the ability to show images in full color using several palette options.

Gray (Grayscale) Palette provides maximum contrast on targets against a uniform background using black and white shades.

Iron Palette provides a color scale that goes from dark red through yellow to white to represent increasing temperatures.

Rain (Rainbow) Palette uses all the colors of the rainbow from red through green, blue, and yellow to violet to represent increasing temperatures.

Ice (Fire & Ice) Palette displays blue for cold targets and red for hot targets.

Another useful feature of the T70 is the remote cable control. This allows the operator to set up the joystick controls elsewhere on the weapon for easier access without breaking the firing grip/position. If you are looking for the ultimate thermal clip-on sight for short range optics, look no further.

Man that's cool and all but $15,000 for something that says short range makes it un cool real quick. If you could get 10x-12x out of it that'd be awesome but I do realize that's kinda far fetched.
 
Sure looks like a nice piece of equipment. Wouldn't mind having one, except that hunting with one is illegal here. Maybe if they change the law someday.

Not if you and you're friends don't help push the legislation they won't.
ETA: that sounded snide, but that's not how I meant it, just encouraging you to make your politicians earn a tiny fraction of their pay, by serving YOUR interests.
 
When I get the FLIR T-70 from TNVC next week, it is going in front of this Elcan Specter DR 1.25-6X-42mm scope on the SIG 716.

This should allow me to take full advantage of the range of the T-70 and the handloaded Barnes 130gr TSXs![:)]

I'll do a hunting action review with pics and video of the setup.
 
Our first large batch on T-70's are now all shipped. Thank you for the orders and we're are not surprised at the level of resolution and detail we're seeing here and elsewhere showing some very detailed video.

Also, we are told black body housings are due in the next few weeks for those holding out on these.
