IRV-MR
Uncooled thermal clip-on systemThe challenge
During missions, soldiers face a multitude of challenges that they are required to master rapidly and efficiently using their equipment. One of the main difficulties faced is limited vision at night or in poor light conditions, which makes it harder to identify enemies and potential threats. Soldiers also need to be able to respond to changing situations rapidly.
The use of uncooled thermal clip-on systems enables soldiers to flexibly adapt their weapons to master the challenges of darkness and poor visibility. This, in turn, improves the safety, effectiveness and readiness of soldiers in the field.
