    A sensor attribution with a stated source.

    Our component research links Trijicon thermal cores to BAE Systems through dealer and trade reporting. That attribution is distinct from the maker’s own product specifications.

    Electronics have a separate term.

    Trijicon’s thermal warranty distinguishes the optical and structural coverage from the electronic components. Review the term for the exact scope and purchase.
