1.2. DESCRIPTION AND DATA
1.2.1. DESCRIPTION
A. Purpose.
The PS-27 is an effective night vision system that
mounts forward of an existing riflescope/spotting scope (fur-
ther referred to as a scope) adding night vision capabilities
to daytime target acquisition platform. Advisable dayscope
magnification is 1X to 12X (2.5X to 8X is optimum). The sight is
installed and removed without affecting boresight (permanent
boresight alignment).
NOTE
The PS-27 can be installed also forward of viewfinders of vari-
ous instruments to widen operating illumination range.
B. Principle of Operation.
The PS-27 operation is based on the
principle of electron-optical intensification of light. The input
fast catadioptric lens collects available ambient light from
sources such as the moon, stars and skyglow and focuses it
on the image intensifier tube photocathode. The tube amplifies
the light and produces the viewable image projected by the
output lens from the tube screen into the dayscope lens. Thus
the sight provides the capability for operator to see through the
scope at night.
C. Features and Limitations.
The PS-27 has the following im-
portant features:
• Available with different generation image intensifier tube.
• Powered by a single alkaline AA or 123A lithium battery.
• Adjusts for lens focus.
• Equipped with manual gain control (MGC version of the
sight) for the best possible image contrast under high and
low light conditions.
• Is mounted on MIL-STD-1913 rail or dayscope lens.
• Battery life check system.
• Equipped with remote control.
