The Family of Weapons Sights program is a US Army thermal weapon sight program designed to provide thermal capabilities for multiple weapons systems throughout the force. This Family of Weapon Sights consists of the FWS-Individual and FWS-Sniper thermal weapon sights.

BAE Systems’ solution for the U.S. Army’s Family of Weapon Sights-Crew Served (FWS-CS) program provides machine gunners and their crews with extended engagement range capabilities for a tactical edge on the battlefield.

Crew Served (FWS-CS) integrates with the M2 .50 caliber machine gun, MK19 Grenade Launcher, and the M240B machine gun. It wirelessly communicates with a Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) allowing Soldiers to receive the imagery from the sight while remaining behind protection. The FWS-CS contains a long-wave infrared imaging sensor

The FWS-CS can be used as a weapon-mounted sensor used for surveillance and enhanced target engagement of crew served weapons during daylight, darkness, adverse weather, and austere battlefield conditions. The mounted operator can detect and recognize targets at greater distances than their crew served weapon system’s maximum effective range.
