CTS-230 Thermal Imaging Clip-On Sight

GSCI’s Thermal Imaging Sight CTS is a clip-on thermal scope designed for short to medium range engagements.  Utilizing a quick detach lever, the CTS easily attaches and detaches from standard M1913 Picatinny rails in front of day scopes.  This gives the operator the ability to deploy it on multiple weapon platforms without the need to dedicate a thermal scope.  It can also be used as a stand-alone weapon scope with a choice of multiple reticle patterns to cycle through.  In stand-alone mode, the CTS can act as a 1X optic or utilize the 2X or 4X electronic zoom.  This system is manufactured by GSCI’s Government Systems division and is designed for hard use.  The thermal core is fully hardened to MILSPEC and made completely in Canada.  The CTS provides extreme versatility for the modern War-fighter and Law Enforcement Professional.

The CTS Thermal Imaging Sight can be used as a hand-held thermal scope or clip-on device for weapon use.  It is fully calibrated to maintain boresight with the host day scope.  So, there is no point of aim/ point of impact shift when it is attached or detached from a weapon.  The CTS is designed primarily for the M4/M16 platform due to its compatibility with short-mid range optics. 

The height of the CTS allows it to easily see over 12 o’clock-mounted laser modules.  The controls are placed on the 9 o’clock side and easily accessible to right-handed shooters.  After a few minutes of working with the CTS, the control buttons become easy enough to navigate without looking. 

The CTS Clip-On Thermal Imaging Sight offers weapon sight functionality at a reasonable price compared to other systems on the market.  Its multiple weapon use applications and handheld capability make it a truly unique device.  As to be expected from a Government System, the CTS is built like a tank.  We are very impressed with the capabilities of this system and the price point. The resolution of the system means you want to keep it at about 4X.
