The Q-Sightâ„¢ is in service (2010) with the Royal Navy as a Gunners Sight on the Lynx Mk 8. The Royal Navy will use the Q-Sight GRSS variation in conjunction with an existing Thermal Weapon Sight (TWS) on its Lynx Mk8 helicopters to enhance targeting accuracy for door gunners. The Q-Sight display will project the image from a machine gun-mounted TWS onto the gunner's helmet-mounted display, allowing the gunner greater range of movement without losing sight of the image.
