See First, Understand First, Act First and Finish Decisively.<strong>MAST</strong> <strong>MOUNTED</strong> <strong>SIGHT</strong> (<strong>MMS</strong>)DRS’ Mast Mounted Sight (<strong>MMS</strong>) is a uniquesurveillance system designed to meet the needs oftoday’s battlefield operations. The <strong>MMS</strong> is a multisensor,fully integrated electro-optical sighting systemwith visible and infrared capability. Designed to bemounted above a helicopter’s rotor, the <strong>MMS</strong> increasessurvivability through its capacity to identify and targetpotential threats in day, night and adverse weatherconditions.The <strong>MMS</strong> uses a combination of a high-resolutiontelevision camera, thermal imaging sensors and alaser rangefinder/designator to accomplish its mission.The imaging sensor package provides detection andrecognition at night and in inclement weather, while thelaser rangefinder/designator achieves precise targetdesignation for laser-guided weapons. Mounted abovethe rotor of a helicopter, the <strong>MMS</strong> provides naturalstealth and extended standoff range by allowing thecraft to hide behind existing terrain while maintaining360° surveillance.The <strong>MMS</strong> offers a solid image through its stabilized sensorsystem. Known as the “soft mount”, the stabilizationsystem isolates the sensors and boresight system fromvibration, pitch, yaw and roll motion.
