1.3 System Capabilities
The SeaFLIR II Imaging System is a gyro-stabilized platform that can
rotate a continuous 360
o
in both azimuth and elevation. The stabilization
enables the internal fiber optic gyroscopes to sense and remove
unwanted effects of motion and vibration in the elevation and azimuth
axes.
1.3.1 Key Features
Key features of the SeaFLIR II Imaging System are:
Fiber Optic Gyroscope Stabilization – minimizing the effect of craft
vibration and motion.
Continuous zoom IR and CCD optical systems – allowing
uninterrupted viewing of the imaging scene while zooming between
the maximum Wide and Narrow fields of view.
1.8X IR Optical Extender (optional) – extends target recognition
capability and detection range.
IR and CCD Auto focus systems – reducing the operator workload.
Directional control – allows control of both azimuth and elevation
through a full 360 degrees.
Ergonomic Hand Control Unit (HCU) – The SeaFLIR II Imaging
System’s HCU is designed to be held in the right hand but its
operation does not favor either a right or left-handed operator. The
pointing of the system is accomplished with the right thumb while all
other controls such as focus and zoom are accessible with either
hand. The controls on the face of the HCU are normally operated
with the left hand.
Video Output – black and white standard for IR, and color for CCD
camera.
National Television System Committee (NTSC) – 60 hertz (Hz) color
standard (United States)
Phase Alternation by Line (PAL) – 50 Hz color standard (European)
Closed Cycle Cooling – the IR detector is cooled by a built-in Sterling
micro-cooler.
