Sensor Fusion

Combine the best attributes of each part of the spectrum.

NIR-I²

• High resolution low light imaging - excellent situational awareness
• Proliferation of I² to enemy forces precludes the safe use of NIR beacons, pointers, illuminators, and designators.

Thermal

• Superior detection of people and vehicles at night
• Low resolution - poor for identification
• Reduced situational awareness in isothermal environments

SWIR

• Long range imaging and target ID
• Non-proliferated - allows use of covert beacons, pointers, illuminators, and designators
• Inferior passive low light performance compared to I²
