The NIVISYS Scorpion Thermal Imager combines the ergonomic features of a handheld monocular and the capability of a weapon mounted optical system. This capability solves some very real tactical problems for the military and law enforcement. Observing suspects of interest through smoke, fog, bushes and other objects that otherwise may hide them from all other types of visual devices, the NIVISYS Scorpion unit provides a powerful improved tactical advantage.
