INTRODUCTION
The AN/TAS-4A Night Sight is a long-wavelength infrared sensing
system. The night sight detects thermal energy and converts it into
electrical signals that are converted into a visible light image,
therefore allowing the TOW Weapon System to be used day or night in
all weather and all terrain conditions. In this lesson you will be
introduced to the functional operation of the night vision sight,
infrared AN/TAS-4A, its assemblies and test equipment.
