There is two technologies available for night time, low light and adverse weather conditions observation: Image Intensification and Infrared Thermal Imaging. Both have their own advantages as well as limitations. The special purpose of "QUADRO NVTF" system is to combine both technologies. It allows fully and effectively exploit their capabilities by creating “Hybrid” or so-called “fusion” observation system.
NIGHT VISION Modern Night Vision Devices are Small, Light Weight, & equipped with high performance/resolution image intensifier tubes. Increased photosensitivity, SNR & more recently auto gating provide the user with the capability to operate in even lower light situations than ever possible before. Additionally, today’s Night Vision Devices provide greater detail of people & objects, even on the darkest nights. When utilized with active Infrared Illuminators or Laser pointing aiming devices, the op-erator is still able to conduct observation tasks with effective recognition & scene assessment. However, not very effective if the person or object is concealed behind light bush, in a shadow or camouflaged. A sce-nario such as this highlights the vulnerability of theImage Intensification technology. THERMAL IMAGING Today’s Thermal Imaging Devices are Small, Light Weight & equipped with high performance engines (cores). Combined with superb resolution mini-displays, providethe operator with high resolution, high sensitivity imaging and detection range.Thermal Imagers provide detection of people’s & object’s heat signatures even if hidden behind thin bush, in a shadow or camouflaged. Thermal Imagers also have the additional benefit of operating during day & night and are furthermore able to see through smoke or fog. However, not very effective as only provides heat (infrared) ‘signatures’ of people or objects - provides no target detail, therefore results in very ineffective target recognition and scene assessment. Years of Research & Development paid off! Team of our engineers designed and created unique “hybrid” or “fusion” system which allows fully and effectively exploit both Night Vision and Thermal Imaging technologies simultaneously. Requires minimum training and little familiarization to acknowledge how to operate with the system to reach maximum effect and stay in FULL control of the situation.
