Note: Calculations used are based on “Johnson Criteria” | Real world performance may vary depending on the weather conditions

* Assumptions: 23mK NETD (f/4 & f/5.5) for MWIR cooled detectors | 35.5mK NETD (f/3.4) | 32mK NETD (f/3.6) | 50mK NETD (f/1.0) for LWIR uncooled detectors | 30Hz frame rate | 50% detection probability | 0.2km-1 atmospheric attenuation coefficient | human ΔT = 5°C | vehicle ΔT = 2°C

** SWIR assumptions: 1280 detector | TRM4 model | Day mode | 0.7μm to 1.7μm spectral range | 25Hz frame rate | Overcast daylight irradiance | 0.2 path radiance factor | 0.2km-1 atmospheric attenuation coefficient | 50% detection probability | Human and vehicle target 50% reflectivity | 15% background reflectivity
