T2 Driver's Narrow periscope
Designed and built by Kent Periscopes in response to an urgent operational requirement (UOR) for a Driver's periscope, the T2 unity vision periscope is a narrow variant of the T1 with enhanced vision capabilities from its deeper body providing an increased vertical field of view.
The T2 was intended for installation alongside the T1 in a radial symmetrical array in order to maximise the azimuth field of view.
The T2 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.
| Vertical | Horizontal | ||
| Immediate | Cut off | Immediate | Cut off |
| -6° to -24° | +12° to -38° | 46° | 76° |
Please note that the T2 periscope was previously referred to as the KP26000.
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.
