Passive Drivers Periscope

The Passive Driver’s Periscope is a rugged, non-electronic optical system designed to provide armored vehicle drivers with a clear and wide field of view while maintaining full protection within the vehicle's armored hull. Operating purely through optical elements—without the need for power or electronic enhancement—this periscope delivers consistent, real-time visibility in daylight conditions and limited low-light environments, depending on available ambient light.

Constructed from high-grade materials such as optical glass or PMMA acrylic, the passive driver’s periscope offers excellent clarity and durability. It is engineered to withstand shock, vibration, and environmental stressors commonly encountered in combat and off-road conditions. The unity vision (1:1) design ensures a natural, undistorted view, allowing drivers to navigate with confidence and precision.

This periscope is typically mounted in a vision block above the driver’s station and is field-replaceable, making it easy to maintain and service. Its passive nature makes it immune to electronic failure, EMP interference, or battery depletion, making it a dependable solution for both combat and support vehicles operating in austere environments.
