What the MTAR-HUD does:

GSCI describes the MTAR-HUD as an augmented reality attachment that digitises analogue night vision and overlays mission-critical data, turning a conventional monocular into a digital system. The current specification lists the GSCI PVS-14C, PVS-14CL, LUX-14 and LUX-14L as compatible monoculars.

Functions:

The current specification lists video-in and video-out at 50 fps, a GPS readout in degrees-minutes-seconds with speed reading, a stadiametric rangefinder and stow safety. Colour modes are Auto, Colour, WP and GP; the multiphosphor function works with white or green phosphor tubes. Sensitivity is set automatically or manually, brightness manually, and recordings go to a removable microSD card.

Power and size:

The MTAR-HUD runs on 1× CR123 or, through its external power port, on the GSCI MVP-240 battery pack. The current specification gives an operating temperature of −35 °C to +60 °C, dimensions of 70 × 50 × 58 mm and a weight under 135 g.

What is included:

The GSCI catalogue does not list the delivery contents of the MTAR-HUD or the adapter for each monocular; MSS Defence confirms both in the quotation.
