Night sight device used in Army tanks, exhibited at a DRDO stall, is drawing a huge crowd.

Environment-friendly explosives and models of missiles on display as part of the India International Festival here is also a big attraction among the people.

The advanced night sight device enables the Army personnel in the tank to locate an object in pitch darkness before launching an attack, a DRDO official said on Thursday.

Speaking on the device that uses thermal imaging technology, the official said, "We keep adding new features to every device in our lab. It is then requisitioned by the Army after due tests and demonstration."
