Thales unveils PANORAMIC quad-tube night vision goggle for enhanced field operations

The PANORAMIC goggle offers a field-of-view close to that of the human eye, significantly improving situational awareness in low-light environments. Its four-tube configuration allows users to detect threats across their peripheral vision without needing to move their heads, enabling faster and more accurate responses.

Weighing only 740 grams and matching the width of a standard helmet, the device combines performance, ergonomic efficiency, and compact design. The system includes a flip-up feature for helmet integration, while the outer tubes can be raised individually and will automatically power off to maintain discretion.

“This is a ground-breaking night vision solution offering the robust design and outstanding performance needed to support the success of night-time missions and protect our soldiers at their most vulnerable moments,” said Alexis Morel, Vice President of Optronics, Missile Electronics and Unmanned Air Systems at Thales. “SOFINS is the ideal opportunity for us to present PANORAMIC, our new extra-wide field-of-view night observation device.”

The goggle is fully compatible with Thales’s XTRAIM weapon sight and is designed to accommodate future upgrades, with an optimised maintenance plan to ensure high operational availability. The device is 100% made in France and ITAR-free, making it suitable for a broad range of domestic and international users.
