Features
- Shutterless Auto-NUC sensor – No shutter activation during operation means no image interruption at critical moments, unlike conventional thermal weapon sights that pause briefly to recalibrate
- 12-micron and 17-micron FPA options – 12-micron provides higher resolution imagery in a compact format; 17-micron offers a proven sensor with extended field of view for longer range detection
- 8+8 electronic reticle patterns – 16 reticle configurations covering standard crosshairs, mil-dot, and ballistic reticle formats for different weapon and engagement types
- 2x and 4x digital zoom – Extends effective engagement range without changing objective lenses
- 0.6-inch AMOLED display at 800×600 – Full-size display with monochrome plus 8 color palettes for image customization based on environmental conditions
- COA clip-on adapter option – The optional COA optical adapter converts the TI-GEAR-S into an in-line clip-on thermal sight for use in front of an existing day scope, adding thermal capability without replacing the primary optic
- Up to 15 hours battery life – 7 hours on CR123 batteries, extendable to 15 hours with the MVP-240 multi-voltage battery pack for extended operations
Built for Long-Term Military Use
The thermal weapon sight market offers a wide range of options, but the TI-GEAR-S is positioned specifically for units that need a long-service-life precision thermal sight rather than a consumer-grade or entry-level system.
The shutterless Auto-NUC correction eliminates the brief image freeze that conventional thermal weapon sights produce during recalibration. In a precision shooting or surveillance role, that interruption matters. The TI-GEAR-S maintains continuous display output throughout operation.
The adjustable shock sensor monitors recoil events and flags when the sight may have shifted zero, prompting the operator to re-verify before the next engagement rather than continuing with an undetected zero shift. For long-range thermal weapon sight applications where shot placement is critical, this is a meaningful capability.
The COA adapter option allows the TI-GEAR-S to function as a clip-on thermal sight placed in front of a day scope, adding thermal imaging to an existing optic without re-zeroing. For dedicated clip-on thermal applications, our TI-GEAR-C precision thermal clip-on sight is designed specifically for that role.

Frequently Asked Questions
The TI-GEAR-S is a standalone thermal weapon sight with its own reticle system and aiming capability, designed to be the primary sight on the weapon. The TI-GEAR-C is a thermal clip-on sight designed to be placed in front of an existing day scope, adding thermal imaging capability without replacing the primary optic. The TI-GEAR-S can also be converted to clip-on use with the optional COA adapter, but the TI-GEAR-C is purpose-built for that role. See the TI-GEAR-C product page for the dedicated clip-on option.
Conventional thermal imaging sensors require periodic non-uniformity correction (NUC) to maintain image quality. In standard systems, this correction triggers a shutter that briefly blocks the sensor, causing a momentary image freeze. Shutterless Auto-NUC corrects non-uniformity continuously without activating a shutter, meaning the display never freezes during operation regardless of how long the sight has been in use.
Effective range depends on the FPA option, lens configuration, and target size. The 12-micron sensor delivers higher resolution in a smaller pixel pitch, supporting detection and recognition at longer ranges than the 17-micron configuration.
