Research and design to integrate thermal imaging objective onto viewfinder PMK-453

Abstract

The article has given the results of the calculation and design of integrating the thermal imaging objective (VKAN) onto the PMK-453 daytime viewfinder for night observation. Through testing, the integrated rear viewfinder works well both during the day and at night. Observational images are transmitted directly to the commander via an optical television system, helping to improve combat readiness training.
