Since 2011,
Raytheon has supplied Finnish Defence Forces with multi-role thermal devices
for missions that require close-combat imagery. The PhantomIRxr 17µm
thermal biocular, with the latest thermal imaging technology, improves
range and has advanced image processing algorithms and image stabilization
to provide crisp, clear, stable images. “The PhantomIRxr thermal biocular is a high-precision, low-cost infrared device that has an important role in all phases of military operations,” said Jeff Miller, vice president of Combat and Sensing Systems in Raytheon’s Network Centric Systems business. “It helps forces perform search and very precise targeting.” |
