Find out more about the Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS), AN/PAS-13 at 1.usa.gov/YbdZjh. TWS enables the Soldier to detect and engage targets, day or night, in all weather and visibility-obscured conditions.
yes, this can be disabled by setting it to emergency mode which drains the battery, my SOP for it was to engage the rubber actuator with my thumb while I lift my NVGs and shoulder the weapon, doing so allows the optic time to start the screen and be ready to fire by the time I put my eye to it
