The image from EMES can also be switched to commander's periscope PERI, allowing the commander to observe what the gunner sees. This makes it possible for commander to see thermal image (even though in Leopard 2A5 and 2A6 the commander has his own thermal camera in his periscope). Emes 15 is also connected to the stabilizer, allowing extreme accuracy even when the tank is moving. When stabilizer is on, the cannon follows the sight even in the hardest terrain. With thermal camera and the stabilizer, EMES 15 gives the gunner the ability to engage targets from movement in any terrain, any weather, no matter if it is day or night.
