Theon Sensors ARTEMIS — Long-Range Thermal Binocular

Theon Sensors' ARTEMIS thermal binocular is the night vision and adverse visibility surveillance platform for foot patrols, fixed observation posts, and search-and-rescue operations in high-altitude terrain. Unlike image-intensified (I²) binoculars that require residual light, the 640×480 pixel LWIR sensor detects the thermal signature of people and vehicles in total darkness, dense smoke, jungle foliage, or high-altitude fog conditions.

The continuous 4× optical zoom allows the operator to select between wide surveillance field (no zoom) and magnified image for distance identification, without losing the thermal image at any point in the zoom range. The 850 g weight and 4-hour endurance with two standard 18650 batteries make it suitable for foot use on long-range patrols without dependence on special military chargers.

In the Peruvian context, ARTEMIS applies in interdiction operations in VRAEM (nighttime movement detection in coca fields and clandestine airstrips), border surveillance in the Amazon and cordillera, search-and-rescue operations in natural disaster zones with smoke and dust, and critical infrastructure custody in nighttime security positions. Theon Sensors has export approval to Peru under EAR99 for the version without laser sensor; versions with laser rangefinding require additional classification.
