The SA enhancements to the M1A1 for Iraq include a second-generation
forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermal sight, a driver's vision-enhancer thermal viewer and Tank Urban Survivability Kit (TUSK) improvements, which provide better crew protection in urban warfare environments, the company said in a statement.
The flight schedule just had finished, and we didn't have much going on, so I decided to do some extra preventive maintenance on one of our advanced targeting
forward-looking infrared (ATFLIR) pods.
It is also equipped with
forward-looking infrared and nightvision technology, making it a capable of night operations.
This system uses a
forward-looking infrared sensor, a low light television camera and laser rangefinder with a closed-loop tracking system to optimize accuracy against small, high-speed surface targets.
Gargus details how crews used untested versions of night vision goggles,
forward-looking infrared, and RC-135 Combat Apple signals-intelligence aircraft pushed early off the production line.
The TWS uses
forward-looking infrared technology and provides a standard video output.
The Pirate, developed by a consortium led by Galileo Avionica, combines a
forward-looking infrared (flir) unit and the IRST (Infra Red Search and Track) system, which is able to search, detect and track potential targets in a stealthy passive mode without any signal emission.
Using night-vision goggles and
forward-looking infrared equipment, pilot David Gunsauls and helicopter owner Dan Kohrdt spotted the girls on a lava-rock-strewn hillside at night miles away from the ground party looking for them.
The targeting pod contains a high-resolution,
forward-looking infrared sensor that displays an infrared image of the target to the air crew.
Though the blimp can carry any number of sensor payloads, the one used for this demonstration was an integrated multisensor package that included a FLIR Systems (Portland, OR) next-generation,
forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor, according to Wallace Miller, ARINC's senior director of international development.
The ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting
Forward-looking Infrared (ATFLIR) targeting pod, developed by Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems (SAS), is currently forward deployed to Super Hornet and F/A-18C hornet squadrons now on cruise in support of continuing operations overseas.
