The MIRIR Thermal Weapon Sight is part of a family of thermal weapon sights introduced to the domestic U.S. via Qioptics. The family includes the MIRIR Thermal Weapon Sight, The MIRIR CQB Thermal Weapon Sight ( designed for shorter range surveillance and target engagement ), the MIRIR+ ( slightly improved range over the MIRIR ) and the SMIRIR Thermal Weapon Sight ( which has a "low profile" and low centre of mass ) but the same performance as the MIRIR+. All MIRIR thermal sights utilize a low power uncooled IR thermal core and state-of-the-art optics for excellent detection.
The fully ruggedized and qualified designs offer image optimization features and 24 hour operational capability. Objective lens options include a 9° field of view x2.7 magnification for the MIRIR, a 24° field of view for the MIRIR CQB, a 6.7° field of view for the MIRIR+, and 6.7° FOV for the SMIRIR.
Interface brackets are available to mount MIRIR sights to a wide variety of different weapons.
The low power consumption of this technology allows the MIRIR to operate with only 4 commercially available AA batteries, greatly reducing through life costs.
I personally viewed through a MIRIR thermal sight and found it impressive. The image was very clear for an uncooled core, and the zoom features and controls worked flawlessly. Other controls and settings were easily manipulated.
Overall, the MIRIR was a well thought-out, ruggidized and user friendly thermal weapon sight.
It is an excellent choice for surveillance and target engagement.
