SWIR advances help optimise battlefield thread detection
SCD USA and its subsidiary Quantum Imaging (QI) have announced that Florida-based Leonardo DRS has selected QI to support its Joint Effects Targeting System II (JETS II) efforts with the provision of its ‘MIRA’ short-wave infrared (SWIR) camera. The US Army has awarded Leonardo DRS a 30-month performance prototype contract for JETS II, a multi-sensor targeting technology for forward observers. This includes agreement on the engineering and manufacturing development phase (image: Leonardo DRS)
Developments in SWIR technology are bringing added benefit to defence applications.
Shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging technology has certainly emerged as a powerful tool across a diverse range of sectors, including defence and security.
