Handheld FLIR Technology

Abstract

In the early 1990s, the CG Research and Development Center evaluated Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) as an aid for Maritime Search and Rescue; they found that NVGs were an effective nighttime search aid, but were ultimately too expensive to justify unit-level purchase. Since then, low-cost handheld monocular thermal cameras with less advanced capability have appeared on the market. This task was developed to evaluate these reduced cost, commercial-off-the-shelf handheld thermal cameras for night operations.
