# Range-Roving Sniper Scopes This Scope Uses High-Tech Imaging to Enable Precision Targets By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2024-02-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sniper-scope References: [businesswire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240123944135/en/Teledyne-FLIR-Defense-Unveils-Advanced-Thermal-Weapon-Sight-at-SHOT-Show-in-Las-Vegas) & [flir](https://www.flir.com/news-center/military/teledyne-flir-defense-unveils-advanced-thermal-weapon/)  Teledyne FLIR Defense, a Wilsonville, Oregon-based defense manufacturer, has introduced a high-tech sniper scope that is designed to make it easier for snipers to remain out of sight while engaging long-range targets thanks to its ability to see bullets to ranges of up to 2,200 meters. The 'ThermoSight HISS-HD' is designed to make it possible for snipers to go about seeing rounds at long-range by utilizing an [imaging sensor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photon-detection) that works in conjunction with a cryo-cooling system. This essentially reduces interference from thermal signals and boosts the resolution of imagery. With the kinds of high-tech processors now used by snipers, this also makes it possible to witness the thermal signals of rounds while they are traveling. "With HISS-HD, we’ve leveraged our world-class [thermal imaging technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-imaging-innovation) to provide marksmen with a superior tool to identify and engage targets anywhere, in any environment," stated Rob Tarantino, vice-president of surveillance strategy and development over at Teledyne FLIR.
