In order to increase the maximum effecive range
of IR equipped tank units, the Uhu was developed. A Sd.Kfz. 251
APC was equipped with a 60cm AA carbon-arc searchlight to which an
infra-red filter had been added. The maximum range of observation
using a 10x scissors sight was 1500m, and the light increased
the maximum range of the standard IR sight to 700m.
