An Assessment of the CD-FLIR as an Argus Sensor

Abstract

The CD-FLIR is a U.S. Government-owned thermal imaging system that has been made available for use on the ARGUS aircraft. This report presents the results of a study in which the expected performance of this sensor is defined. Recommendations are made for several simple hardware modifications that will permit optimum sensor performance. Also, the performance impact of using analog vs. digital recording is considered.
