Trijicon ATWS Thermal Imager
Published: March 26th, 2009
Trijicon have partnered with FLIR Systems, night vision expects, to develop a very compact thermal imager for ACOG scopes. The ATWS or Advanced Thermal Weapon Sight uses a 640×480 pixel uncooled camera.
While it is compact it is not light, weighing in at 1.5 lbs.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

The Trijicon ATWS is in fact the same scope as the FLIR Thermosight T60 ATWS i came to find out. I was quite impressed with the image quality and the body, its very rugged and waterproof, its made for military spec, I was planning on purchasing the AN/PVS-24 LR Long Range night vision clip on sight, the PVS-24 is awesome, but in shadows and in very dark nights, they are pretty useless, Im saving up my pennies for the T60 ATWS, i can use it day or night.

I know this is an old thread , but if someone bumps into it like I did the following may be of some use:
The FLIR T60 ATWS is available to civilians through some dealers and on ebay, the price seems to be between $17K - $19K for a new unit. A common theme with the sale of these scopes: US citizens only not for export, End users only.
I didn't investigate whether a civi could by one directly from FLIR.
