Seagle-1, A New Man-Portable Thermal Imager

Abstract

This paper presents the design and performance of Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) newest man-portable infrared imaging system the Seagle-1. The thermal imager is designed for day and night long-range observation and forward reconnaissance and surveillance applications. The camera system achieves an NETD =0.067K at 30 Hz frame rate with f/1.8 optics (300K background). The design and performance of the 256x244 PtSi infrared camera will be described in this paper.
