Gen II FLIR hits snag

Article Abstract:

The US Congress has asked the US Army to explain why one type of FLIR for aviation is preferred over another for ground vehicles. Until a report has been submitted, the service is prohibited from spending money on buying the new sensor package for the Apache. The Army prefers The Standard Advanced Dewar Assembly versions I technology over version II as the basis for the aviation FLIR due to its better sensitivity for aviation-related tasks.
