KONUS Thermal Imaging Scopes — Tactical Sights for Target Acquisition & Surveillance

A thermal weapon sight eliminates lighting dependencies entirely, resolving infrared heat signatures through pitch darkness, smoke screens, heavy fog, and dense vegetation. Italy’s Konus Optical & Sport Systems engineers its FLAME thermal sight line around uncooled VOx (Vanadium Oxide) microbolometers. This sensor architecture bypasses the need for cryogenic cooling cycles, resulting in a lightweight, energy-efficient platform that powers on instantly. The flagship KONUS FLAME-R 2.5x-20x delivers extensive magnification, a ruggedized sealed chassis, and dual-purpose utility as a rail-mounted rifle scope or a handheld observation monocular.

Field deployments leverage standard CR123A lithium cells or rechargeable RCR123A batteries, alongside continuous external power support via USB Type-C power banks. The integral mounting base interfaces directly with standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails. Onboard Wi-Fi enables real-time video streaming to mobile apps, complemented by onboard video recording and firmware management.

Key Technical Features

• VOx Thermal Core: Uncooled 256×192 (12 $\mu$m, 50 Hz) sensor delivers smooth frame rates and sharp thermal contrast on moving targets.

• Fast Germanium Optics: High-transmission germanium objective with minimum focus from 2 m, featuring 2.5x native optical zoom and up to 20x digital magnification.

• Ingress Protection: Heavy-duty IP67-rated housing protects internal electronics against torrential rain, dust, and temporary water immersion.

• Recoil Resistance: Rated to absorb high-recoil impulses up to .375 H&H without shifting zero or damaging internal sensors.

• Flexible Power Options: Runs on swappable CR123A/RCR123A cells or continuous 5V external power via USB Type-C.

• Dual-Use Ergonomics: Direct Picatinny rail mounting alongside handheld scouting monocular functionality.

• Integrated Digital Features: Built-in video recorder, Wi-Fi streaming, Picture-in-Picture (PiP) targeting, and multiple selectable reticles.

• All-Weather Thermal Range: Reliable operational performance across extreme sub-zero winter field conditions.
