The modern clip on thermal scope is no longer limited to a single purpose. With the introduction of 6th Generation platforms, thermal clip-ons have evolved into multi-role systems that seamlessly transition between rifle-mounted and handheld use. ATN’s 6th Generation products, such as the TICO 6, illustrate how advanced processing power, AI-enhanced imaging, and modular design have redefined what a single thermal device can do in the field
Why 6th Generation Technology Enabled True Multi-Role Thermal Devices
Earlier thermal clip-ons focused almost exclusively on adding heat detection to a daytime optic. While effective, they lacked flexibility and often required compromises in usability. The 6th Generation platform changes this by combining ultra-sensitive sensors with powerful onboard processing, allowing one device to perform multiple roles without sacrificing performance.
