MLT-IRB-75 is a third generation, handheld or tripod mounted, shuterless sensor, which can be used for target acquisition and reconnaissance. It features a high-resolution detector (640x480); an on-screen compass and tilt indicator; a video output to external monitor; an image and video recording SD card; an integrated day camera and four preloaded reticles with range estimation.

The system offers a high-definition eyepiece display, with an optical magnification of 4x and digital zoom of 1/2/3/4x or continuous zoom at 0.2 steps.

Detection, recognition and identification for a human target are at 2,500, 1,100 and 450 m. respectively. For a vehicle-sized target the respective distances are 6,000, 3,500 and 1,200 m.

The sight is powered by four CR-123 or two 18650 rechargeable batteries, which provide an autonomy of five and nine hours respectively. Its weight without the batteries is less than one kilogram.
