Purpose: This study relates to the development of the day and night scope using the reflecting surface of a BS (beam splitting) prism. Methods: We have placed the LCD panel and the dot reticle generator to the top and bottom of the reflecting surface of the BS prism, and have placed a reflector, which is designed to doublet type, in the front of the BS prism. Doing so, we have developed a new type of day and night scope, which is able to image the virtual image of dot reticle from the dot reticle generator to the direction of the observer, to make the observer survey the peripheral information of the outside target by 1x magnification, and to make the observer survey the image of the LCD panel directly. Results: We could develope a new type of day and night scope, which has the function of night scope as thermal image display device at night time and the function of day scope as dot sight at day time, by letting the reflective surface of the BS prism have the role of dot sight which reflects the dot reticle and have the role of reflective optical system by which the observer surveys the night thermal image displayed in LCD panel. Conclusions: In this study, we have developed the new type of day and night scope which is able to play the role of the day or night scope selectively, combining the existing dot sight and the existing night scope by using the BS prism. By doing so, we could design and fabricate the new type of day and night scope with the BS prism which can further increase the rapidity of firing and provide more convenience in the mounting of a firearm than the detachable combination of an existing dot sight and an existing night scope.

야간 근접전투의 원활한 수행을 위하여 전장감시 및 정밀 조준사격을 위한 조준경 개발은 매우 중요하다. 영상증폭장비 및 열상장비의 특성을 고려한 무기체계 개발은 지속적으로 추진되어야 할 것이다. 그리고 현재 기술수준을 고려시 개인화기 조준경은 무게가 가볍고 부피가 작으며 운용성면에서 월등히 유리한 영상증폭방식이 야간전용의 단일기능으로 개발이 요구되며, 악천후시 탐지능력이 우수하나 무겁고 부피가 크며 전력소모가 많은 열상장비는 공용화가 조준경 및 관측경 등으로 개발이 요구된다.

주.야간 겸용 영상 증폭장비는 주간 광학계가 복합 설계되어 야간 전용보다 무겁고 부피가 크며 탐지능력이 떨어져 야간전용으로 개발이 요구되었고, 열상장비는 악천후시 탐지능력은 우수하나 무겁고 부피가 크며 건전지 소요가 과다함으로 개인화기 조준경으로는 부적합하다는 결론을 도출하였다. 따라서 이 글에서는 전자광학장비중 야시장비의 개발현황 및 발전추세를 살펴보고 운용시험평가 결과분석을 토대로 향후 우리 군이 어떤 방향으로 야간 전투력을 극대화 할 수 있을 것인가에 대한 무기체계 소요제기와 작전운용성능을 설정할 것인가를 논해보고자 한다.

Purpose: This study relates to the development of the prism dot-sight combined with the thermal imaging camera. Methods: We have placed a reflector designed to the doublet type in the front of a BS (beam splitting) prism, have placed an OLED panel and a dot reticle generator to the top and bottom of the reflecting surface of the BS prism, and have placed a detachable magnifier between the BS prism and the observer by which the observer can see the magnified image of the OLED panel. By doing this, we were able to configure the new type prism dot-sight combined with the thermal imaging camera. Results: By placing the removable magnifier designed with a new type between the BS prism and the observer, we could design the new type prism dot-sight which performs the role of the dot sight by removing the magnifier during the day-time, and performs the role of the night scope during the night-time by which we can observe the enlarged image of the thermal imaging camera through the BS prism by attaching the removable magnifier. Conclusions: In this study, we have developed the prism dot-sight combined with the thermal imaging camera which is able to play the role of the day or night scope selectively, by disposing the designed magnifier characterized by the focal length of 44 mm, the viewing angle of ${\pm}7.0^{\circ}$, and the MTF value of 0.5 or more at the criterion of 50 lp/mm and the 0.7 field between the BS prism and the observer. By doing so, we could design and fabricate the new type prism dot-sight combined with the thermal imaging camera which can further increase the rapidity of firing and provide more convenience in the mounting of a firearm than the detachable combination of an existing dot sight and an existing night scope.
