POF Eye

POF Eye is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand POF Eye rather than just read about it. In short: POF Eye is a special-purpose hand-held CornerShot weapon system. It was first revealed at the 5th International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS 2008), held at the Karachi Expo Centre in November 2008.

Key takeaways

POF Eye belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect POF Eye to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of POF Eye from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

POF Eye is a special-purpose hand-held CornerShot weapon system. It was first revealed at the 5th International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS 2008), held at the Karachi Expo Centre in November 2008. It is designed for SWAT and special forces teams in hostile situations, particularly counter-terrorism and hostage rescue operations.

History The system, specially designed for urban combat, anti-terrorist operations and police SWAT operations, was developed by Pakistan Ordnance Factories. Chairman of the POF board, Lt. Gen. Syed Sabahat Husain, told the visiting delegates at IDEAS 2008 that this new product of POF may meet the requirements of law enforcing agencies in order to curb the terrorist activities. The live demonstration of this gun was also shown to the delegates. According to one of the designers, Ashfaq Ahmad, the overall designing and finalizing of this gun took 6 months. Several domestic and international participants and delegates took keen interest in the newly introduced anti-terrorist weapon. Once the weapon is put into mass production, POF would take orders for its supply to prospective local and international buyers. To help promote the weapon, POF has conducted training sessions to help law enforcement agencies in Pakistan familiarize themselves with the POF Eye. As of 2014, the POF Eye has been sold to Pakistani security forces. In 2015, General Tan Sri Raja Mohamed Affandi, the then-Malaysian Army chief visited the POF to examine the POF Eye. In February 13, 2018, the Eye was featured in a POF documentary.

Variants The POF Eye is available in several variations. It can be mounted with

standard 9 mm semi-automatic pistol sub-machine gun grenade launcher

Design This project was designed and supervised by Dr. Muhammad Ayaz Khan – chief member of the board of directors of POF. In 2008. he gave a briefing to the press regarding its features. Unlike the Cornershot which is chiefly made of plastic, the POF Eye is constructed entirely of metal. The lower receiver is based on its MP5 clones and the stock similar to the Galil. It includes a small high-resolution camera, laser sight and a colour LCD monitor, which can observe and view a target from various vantage points. The video camera enables forces to scan an area prior to pinpointing a target and broadcast the footage directly, in real time, to the operating team behind, or to a Command Post monitor. Its head can turn 75 degrees. The Eye has been designed as of 2016 to allow the use on an image transmission package with an IR camera that has a range of 20 meters. Video transmission has a range of 400 meters. An LCD screen mounted on the back of a person with an ocular device strapped on the person’s helmet. The package also includes a battery pack worn on a vest or similar gear that can be easily changed in the field.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with POF Eye

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what POF Eye claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to POF Eye before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about POF Eye ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of POF Eye

In research: POF Eye appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses POF Eye in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: POF Eye is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Assault rifles, Pakistani inventions, Rifles of Pakistan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for POF Eye outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
