Aspis for FLIR Breach

Hood

CNC Machined out of 6061 Aluminium anodised in black.

Shield

• The thermal lenses are protected by a 5.30mm tall 6061 Aluminium mesh.
• This is one of the few viable alternatives to the expensive Germanium sacrificial lenses.
• The holes are 5.9mm in diameter and they prevent an airsoft BB reaching the lenses.
• Upper 'neck' allows the use of the original rubber cover.

Compatibility

1. FLIR Breach

Clarity test

The mesh/shield does not affect the image quality.

Impact test

The Aspis will act as a sacrificial shield, protecting the thermal lenses against a single airsoft BB impact.

Due to the unknown force of a possible impact, we recommend replacing the Aspis after it is hit as its structure might be affected (similar to how a bump helmet should be replaced after a fall/hit)

In our torture test, the Aspis shield (metal mesh) was strong enough that it resisted multiple impacts of a 0.28 grams BBs traveling at 90 m/s (~1 joule), protecting the material behind but compromising its structure.
