"A secondary weapon sight with thermal optics that highlights soldiers and vehicles for efficient target identification." — Battlelog description

Thermal Optics allow ground vehicles and attack helicopters to see heat signatures through dust and smoke (except IR smoke). "White hot" mode is used for all vehicles. In singleplayer, the view is tinted green, while multiplayer uses an untinted (gray) view. The IRNV Scope uses similar mechanics with night vision incorporated.

The CITV Station and the scout helicopter's Laser Painter also provide thermal optics as a secondary view.
