MQT160B Optical Aiming Unit
China Moneypro
The MQT160B Optical Aiming Unit is a lightweight, high-precision electro-optical system combining infrared thermal imaging, visible light camera, and laser rangefinder technology. Designed for installation on various firearms, it enables 24/7 day and night reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition. The system features dual-channel imaging with real-time infrared and visible light output, 30x optical zoom, automatic target tracking, and accurate laser ranging up to 3000 meters. Advanced capabilities include continuous zoom during tracking, image overlay, target identification for people and vehicles, and pseudo-color thermal imaging. With an uncooled 640×512 thermal detector, 1920×1080 visible camera, and integrated image tracker, this compact unit weighs under 2.5kg and operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -40 to 60 degrees Celsius. IP67-rated for harsh environments, it connects via RS422 control and HD-SDI video interfaces with onboard storage support.
The MQT160B electro-optical aiming unit adopts an integrated design of a three-light electro-optical module and an image tracker, featuring lightweight, high precision, and high integration. It can be installed on various firearms for day and night reconnaissance, surveillance, and target locking.
Target detection and tracking can be achieved around the clock using infrared and visible light, and infrared and visible light images can be output in real time. The laser rangefinder can measure and output the distance to the target in real time.
