Thermal imagers

A thermal imager is a device that allows us to collect thermal radiation from objects around us and convert it into an image that reflects the level of thermal energy. Thus, thermal imagers allow you to see objects in the dark or in bad weather conditions, when conventional optical devices do not work effectively.

Thermal imaging cameras are used in many industries, including military and police, maritime and air navigation, rescue operations and scientific research. Military thermal imaging can detect enemy tanks, helicopters and other vehicles, as well as people hiding in the dark. They can also be used to detect and study hot spots on the battlefield, such as burning buildings or vehicles.

One of the main advantages of thermal imagers is that they work on the basis of thermal energy, so they can be used regardless of the light source. They can also operate at a significant distance, allowing for increased coverage and reduced risk to the military during operational operations. However, their use requires high qualification and training, as different types of thermal imagers have different characteristics and may require special data processing to achieve maximum efficiency.
