Cooled Infrared Imager

Cooled Infrared Imager

The Cooled Infrared Imager is a high-performance HD system designed for elite long-range reconnaissance and extreme-detail surveillance.
● Maintains a boresight accuracy of ≤ 2 pixels throughout the entire zoom range.
● Utilizes a 1280 x 1024 detector (NETD ≤ 25mK) for twice the resolution of standard 640x512 models.
● Features a powerful 22mm to 720mm 33x lens for seamless transition from wide situational awareness to ultra-detailed long-range identification.
