The Photonis’ 4G high FOM image intensifier tubes will be integrated in the Theon Sensors new NYX binoculars, to increase night driving maneuverability of the German Army.
During night operations it is most important for a driver to have the best depth perception possible to judge distance and relative motion. “Photonis is proud to deliver its state-of-the-art image intensifier technology to the German Armed Forces to increase their night driving maneuverability and safeguard their operations at night”, said Frederic Guilhem, Executive Commercial Officer Night Vision at Photonis.
