N1 periscope
The N1 is shown here as an example of Kent Periscopes' ability to produce rapidly an improved, more cost effective and higher quality, replacement to an existing basic market design.
The Kent Periscopes N1 design uses the same space envelope as the L794B periscope enabling the use of existing vehicle mounted wash wipe systems and clamping mechanisms to be used. As a result no vehicle modification is required to use the N1 as a replacement for the L794B.
The periscope has a two prism system with desiccated ballistic gap. Each half of the periscope is collimated to +/- 15' of arc. This enables either half of the Periscope to be replaced in the event of damage, and maintain the original collimation angle tolerance.
Please note that the N1 was previosuly referred to only as the L794B.
Laser protection
A laser filter cassette can be included if required. Housed internally within the centre of the periscope, the cassette is protected from damage and is installed such that the periscope can be upgraded over time in order to respond to changes in threat level.
Typical levels of protection required by our customers include YAG 1064nm (1.064µm) or Ruby 694nm (0.694µm). These levels of protection can be provided alone or on a combined basis. We can also work with our customers to supply laser protection filters that meet other specific wavelength requirements.
