CMS-1 is a multi-sensor electro-optical system developed as a commander sight. All optical sensors are mounted on a gyro-stabilized pan and tilt positioner, allowing a commander to have a clear view on surrounding terrain.

Combination of sensors inside the container ensures the capability of the system to see in all weather and light conditions. There are three types of sensors – day/night vision and LRF. Day vision is provided by a zoom camera with a color and B/W mode. Night vision is provided by a cooled thermal camera. Range measurements are performed by an eye safe laser range finder.

The body of the container is ruggedized against vibrations and resistant to all weather conditions. The whole system is protected with a Armox shield to prevent damage from an indirect hit.
