Full Product DescriptionProduct description
The M17 Unity Vision Periscope with PMMA acrylic optics is a lightweight, durable viewing solution designed for integration into a variety of armored vehicles. Utilizing high-quality polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), commonly known as acrylic, this periscope provides a non-magnifying, true-scale (1:1) view of the external environment, supporting safe and effective situational awareness for vehicle crews.
Compared to traditional glass periscopes, the PMMA version offers significantly reduced weight, which can contribute to overall vehicle efficiency and ease of installation. Despite its lighter construction, PMMA delivers excellent optical clarity and high resistance to impact, making it suitable for demanding operational environments. The material also performs well under a range of temperatures and environmental conditions, maintaining optical integrity and durability during extended use.
The M17 periscope with PMMA acrylic is especially advantageous in applications where weight savings and cost-effectiveness are priorities, without compromising on basic visibility and reliability. It can be equipped with optional coatings or filters for enhanced UV and glare protection, and it is engineered for easy replacement and minimal maintenance in the field.
