ABSTRACT:
An optical assembly using a centrally-obscured catadioptric optical objece that provides two different focal planes using the same set of optics. Both optical paths share the same optic axis and common line-of-sight. One focal plane is optimized for use with a high performance GEN II image intensifier tube, and the other is used for either laser receiver or emitter devices.
