The Indian Army has upgraded its 9K111‐1M Konkurs‐M anti-tank guided weapon (ATGW) systems with Bangalore-based Tonbo Imaging's cooled, longwave Infrared (LWIR) thermal imagers known as Sarisa, a source at Tonbo told Janes.

According to Tonbo, Sarisa is a thermal imaging camera used for detection, recognition, and identification of threats at long ranges during day and night and in adverse weather conditions. It can lock onto a stationary or moving target before launching the missile.

Sarisa is equipped with mounting brackets that allow it to be installed in the front of the optics channel of the Konkurs-M ATGW launcher.

It is deployed in clip-on configuration with inbuilt collimated optics “enabling the user to engage with the targets using the same sight channel of direct-view optics of the Konkurs launcher”, according to Tonbo.

The thermal imager is designed in accordance with MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F standards.
