RETROFIT OPTICAL TURRET WITH LASER SOURCE

摘要

A retrofitted optical sight cluster system including a turret support structure defining a lower turret area and upper turret area sealed from the lower turret area, optics mounted onto the turret support structure including a gimbal mounted optics assembly for providing an image of an outside scene viewed through a window and a relay optics assembly fixedly mounted on the turret support structure for transmitting that image in first direction along an optical path extending through the upper turret area to an operator's eye, a laser source mounted in the upper turret area, and apparatus for diverting the radiation output of the laser source to as to pass along the optical path from the upper turret area to the lower turret area in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
