GSCI QUADRO-S Compact Thermal Fusion Sight ( Clip-On or Handheld, Tripod mounted )

Description
Customer Reviews

What is a fusion weapon sight? For night vision the choice for the military and law enforcement has traditionally been between light intensification and thermal imaging, either amplifying available visible light no matter how low, or using a non-visible part of the spectrum, infrared – each with advantages and disadvantages. Until now. Enter GSCI’s QUADRO-S.

Fusion is the Future

Sensor technology has been expanding across more bands of the electromagnetic spectrum than ever before while getting smaller, lighter and more power efficient, but it still forces the soldier or law enforcement officer to make a choice: visible light or infrared?

It was clear that a better solution would be to combine the advantages of light intensification and infrared so as to overcome their disadvantages. This is what Bertin Technologies, Night Optics, ITT Exelis and Pyser Optics have been doing, but Canada’s General Starlight Company, Inc. (GSCI) might just have done it better in the shape of the QUADRO-S.

Main Applications:

Defence
Security

Product Highlights

Hand-Held & Tripod-Mountable Unit: Great for surveillance and reconnaissance thanks to high situational awareness.
Standalone Weapon Sight: Perfect tool for short- to medium-range aiming and engagements.
Clip-On Weapon Sight: Easy to pair with most daytime scopes.

The QUADRO-S is the augmented vision multi-purpose system for tactical surveillance, observation and engagement at short- and medium-range distances. It is the next big step in the evolution of advanced detection systems.

Along with selecting between visible/near-infrared and far-infrared (thermal) channels individually, GSCI’s Unique Patented technology allows to produce and display real-time, delay-free fusion image that superimposes all ranges of the spectrum from its sensors to successfully detect any target and defy poor lighting or weather conditions. Wide field of view allows for better situation awareness.

The unit is small and lightweight, and yet made of a hard-anodized aluminum for added strength and shock resistance. The side and top weaver rails allow the user to attach additional equipment such as a reflex sight, laser rangefinder, IR illuminator, and more.

QUADRO-S is fully compatible with various weapon mounting systems and can also be used as a handheld or tripod mounted observation device.
