Thermal imaging

Article Abstract:

A brief overview of the current efforts by the US Marine Corps Systems Command (MarCorSysCom) is presented to further develop and optimize the enabling technology to support the Marine Corps' night fighting abilities, especially at the squad and individual warfighter level. MarCorSysCom in 2005 invested $46 million in initial funding to DRS Technologies under a competitively awarded 5-year contract valued at $660 million to develop and produce a new, lightweight, handheld, battery-operated, thermal binocular system called the tactical range thermal imager (TRTI).
