FLIR Thermal Imaging Systems
and MultiSensor systems
Thanks to their ability to detect man-sized targets several kilometers away, they are extremely suited for force protection, border surveillance and various security tasks. Protecting your troops is essential for success on the battlefield and protecting a country’s
borders is vital to its national security. It is however very challenging to detect enemy soldiers and potential intruders or smugglers in total darkness, in the most diverse weather
conditions. FLIR’s thermal imaging systems will help to meet the demands faced at night
and in other low-light situations.
Also ports and airports, nuclear plants, petrochemical installations, are vulnerable to
theft, or even worse terrorist attacks, and can be well protected by using suitable thermal
imaging systems from FLIR.
Thermal imaging cameras expose threats hidden in the darkness, concealed by adverse
weather, and veiled by obscurants like dust, fog, and smoke. FLIR’s thermal imaging
cameras detect intruders sooner, provide more time to react and protect people, assets,
and infrastructures. They are operational 24 hours a day even in the darkest of nights,
fog, snow and smoke.
2.1 See in total darkness
Because everything generates heat, thermal imaging cameras can see as well at night
as they can during the day. Cameras dependent on visible light are useless at night or in
poor visibility without supplementary illumination from lamps, LEDs or lasers.

2.2 See important things clearly also in broad daylight
The FLIR thermal imaging cameras will not only protect borders and assets against intruders during the darkest of nights. The cameras are also perfectly suited for daytime
surveillance. The FLIR thermal imaging cameras will detect objects that remain invisible
to the naked eye. For example, people hiding in the shadows or in the bushes will be detected. The cameras are also not blinded by glare from the sun.

and control make the FLIR thermal imaging systems the perfect border security imaging
solution. The systems can be connected to a radar in a so called “slew to cue” configuration. If the radar detects an object, the camera turns in the correct direction so that you
get a visual image from that blip on your radar screen.

2.4 Coastal Surveillance
Some countries are bordered by thousands of kilometers of coastline. The FLIR thermal
imaging systems are the perfect tools to monitor what is happening along the coastline.
They can be used to intercept illegal immigrants or to detect other threats coming from
the sea. They are perfect for Vessel Traffic Monitoring and can work together with Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) and radars.

2.5 Perimeter Security
Airports, air force bases, hydroelectric power plants, refineries, oil and gas pipelines and
any other large infrastructure objects have perimeters that can be kilometers long. The
FLIR thermal imaging systems provide the ultimate security solution.

3.1.1 Powerful High Definition thermal imaging
The Ranger HDC MultiSensors are equipped with Ranger HDC cameras that have a
highly reliable High Definition, mid-wave, cooled detector which offers extremely long
range detection in all weather conditions. The High Definition detectors generate wider
area coverage at any given range compared to standard resolution systems. The Ranger
HDC offers a continuous optical and electronic zoom. This gives excellent situational
awareness while also giving the possibility to zoom in at suspect activities, and have a
closer look, once they are detected. The Ranger HDC camera can also be used as a
stand-alone unit.
3.1.2 Powerful daylight imaging camera
The MultiSensor systems feature different powerful and sensitive daylight cameras with
excellent zoom and color quality for additional target identification when conditions permit. Displaying both the thermal image and the daylight image at the same time is also
possible.
The daylight cameras are well matching the Ranger HDC thermal camera performance
and field-of-view.
3.1.3 Pan & Tilt
All sensors on the Ranger HDC MultiSensor unit are mounted on an accurate Pan & Tilt
unit. They can be connected to a RADAR in a “slew to cue” configuration.

3.2.1 Maximum detail, maximum Range
With FLIR’s Ranger HDC thermal cameras you’ll see more detail from greater distance
than ever before. The Ranger HDC’s 1280x720 detector creates crisp, high-resolution
thermal video, putting more pixels on target for extreme image detail at unbelievably long
ranges. The Ranger HDC Series is the base component of a Ranger HDC MultiSensor
and can also be used as a stand-alone unit.
3.2.2 Optimized for long-range performance
The Ranger HDC’s optics strike the perfect balance required for long-range imaging in
challenging atmospheric conditions. The Ranger HDC 1200, equipped with a 1200 mm
lens, lets operators see small, distant targets clearly and reliably. Longer focal length
lenses produce greater magnification, but just having a long telescope isn’t enough – the
lens and detector package must be designed and optimized to work together. FLIR Systems is uniquely capable of these complex tasks, as we design and manufacture all of
the critical components in the imaging system: detector, cooler, video processing, and
lenses.
3.2.3 High Definition Cooled detector
The Ranger HDC cameras are equipped with a mid-wave, High Definition cooled detector. The High Definition format is basically making the system cover twice the area at any
given range with maintained resolution on target compared to any legacy 640x480 resolution system. Maintain good situational awareness while seeing a lot of details on targets! With a Ranger HDC you can zoom in on a target to see more detail without
experiencing the effect of “looking through a straw” as one will do in systems with lower
resolution.
A thermal imaging camera with a cooled detector gives you the advantage that you can
see and detect potential threats much farther away than with an uncooled detector. Objects which are at a close distance can be seen with much more detail. You can see what
people are carrying. There is no need any more to send someone out in the field to take
a closer look since small details can clearly be seen on the thermal image.
3.2.4 16:9 video format – efficient use of the displays
The Ranger HDC provides the video in 16:9 wide screen format that is fitting today’s
standard screens and displays.

Ranger HDC presentation
The Ranger HDC to the left with 16:9 video fits the screen nicely compared with a FLIR
system with 4:3 video to the right where the screen shows big black fields on both sides
of the video since the format deviates from the display format.
High Definition requires a bit more bandwidth than lower resolution when installed into
TCP/IP networks with video distribution over the network. The 16:9, 1280x720 HD format
is significantly more efficient and require less bandwidth than a 1280 video in 4:3 format
which by the way would show black fields on most common displays.
3.2.5 Two different versions available
• Ranger HDC 800: Equipped with a 36 x 800 mm lens. It zooms between a wide 30°
field-of-view down to a 1.35° field-of-view horizontally.
• Ranger HDC 1200: Equipped with a 55 x 1200 mm lens. It zooms between a wide
20.4° field-of-view down to a 0.92° field-of-view horizontally.
3.2.6 Continuous optical and digital zoom
The FLIR HDC thermal imaging cameras are equipped with powerful 22x continuous optical zoom capability on the thermal image. It offers excellent situational awareness but
also the possibility to zoom-in, and see more detail, once a target has been detected.
This way operators can see farther, recognize more detail, and react more quickly to security threats. The advantage of continuously zooming systems is that a target can be
kept in sight when zooming in or out. It is not lost during a field-of-view switch. You can
gradually zoom in while keeping your focus all the time. All systems are also equipped
with an up to 16x continuous digital zoom, which gives a total zoom range of more than
350x.
Continuous zoom allows operators to customize their active field-of-view, observing from
extreme ranges without ever losing sight of potential threats – night and day, in all weather conditions.
3.2.7 Seeing more than ever before – Automatic Digital Detail Enhancement
(ADE)
Operating a thermal imaging system has required quite some knowledge and work with
special IR settings in order to get a decent picture. The Ranger HDC comes with a new
image processing engine that automatically adjusts to the scene – almost an auto perfect
mode! This reduces operator workload and makes it easier to see targets and details.
Beyond the capabilities of linear auto gain/level controls and even non-linear histogram
equalization, Tunable ADE automatically provides system operators with buried image
details without sacrificing image quality. Advanced Digital Detail Enhancement (ADE) assures clear, properly contrasted thermal images. ADE delivers a high contrast image
even in extremely dynamic thermal scenes. It provides high quality thermal imaging in
any night or daytime environmental conditions. Precision lens design allows for low-distortion across the entire image, while maintaining optimized focus quality across the

entire zoom range. High-durability, anti-reflection coatings ensure long life and consistent
performance of the optical lens.
3.3 Different TV cameras available for the Ranger HDC MultiSensor
LR-HDTV 750
LR-HDTV 1000
750 mm 60x continuous optical zoom lens
1000 mm 60x continuous optical zoom lens
3.3.1 LR-HDTV 750
This is a High Definition Color TV with 1280 x 720 pixels and 750 mm 60x continuous optical zoom lens and a 2x optical extender for surveillance at long-range.
The wide field-of-view is wider than 31° and the narrow field-of-view is less than 1° so it
overlaps the Ranger HDC 800’s field-of-view which makes it a perfect fit on a MultiSensor with a Ranger HDC 800.
3.3.2 LR-HDTV 1000
This is a High Definition Color TV with 1280 x 720 pixels and 1000 mm 60x continuous
optical zoom lens and a 2x optical extender for surveillance at long-range.
The wide field-of-view is wider than 21° and the narrow field-of-view is less than 0.5° so
it overlaps the Ranger HDC 1200’s field-of-view which makes it a perfect fit on a MultiSensor with a Ranger HDC 1200.
3.3.3 Powerful zoom optics
3.4 Quick accurate Pan & Tilt
The compact Pan & Tilt unit is designed for heavy duty service in extremely demanding
environments, from hot desert to arctic conditions.
This positioning unit includes slip-ring connections for the different signals (video and data), which allow for infinite horizontal positioning, and provide DC servo drives for the rotary movement in both axes. High precision gears provide fast accurate movement, free
from backlash and extremely low hysteresis, through a continuous 360° rotation and a
±90° elevation.

Ranger HDC presentation
This performance contributes to find targets faster, as well as to get a good and stable
display of the sensors pictures even in very narrow fields-of-view. Incremental encoders
allow for accurate geo-referencing of targets with precise read-out of the vertical and horizontal angles.
3.5 Several options for mission flexibility
3.5.1 Advanced Global Positioning System (GPS)
The MultiSensor systems can be equipped with an advanced GPS. This way the systems
will know where they are located. This can be extremely important when the MultiSensor
systems are installed on moving equipment or when they are used as portable systems.
3.5.2 Digital Magnetic Compass
Optionally, a built-in digital magnetic compass allows determination of in which direction
the MultiSensor system is pointing.
3.5.3 Laser Range Finder
The MultiSensor systems can be equipped with an eye safe Laser Range Finder. Combined with the GPS system and the electromagnetic compass, it will allow you to exactly
determine where a suspected object is located and how far it is away.
3.5.4 Automatic Video Tracker
The Automatic Video Tracker allows the user to select and follow a given target. Selecting and engaging in tracking mode is easily done by the touch of a button. Once the
tracker is engaged, the MultiSensor systems will follow the object as long as it can be
seen.
#PM505465; r. D/19316/19316; en-US

The video tracker also provides electronic stabilization. Useful features when the MultiSensor is installed on a mast where it is susceptible to movement by the wind.
3.6 Sophisticated interface
The Ranger HDC and HDC MultiSensor has a TCP/IP interface that makes it a plug &
play manageable network object converting the various internal low level protocols and
electrical interfaces of all the MuliSensors components and cameras into a single and
common TCP/IP protocol which is accessible via a standard Ethernet interface.
3.7 Easy to install and easy to integrate with other systems
Modern security systems are becoming more and more complex. A security network
consists of various types of sensors that need to work together in order to offer maximum
performance. Radar, perimeter and ground sensors, CCTV cameras, thermal imaging
cameras and other sensors need to be geo-referenced and interconnected in "slew to
cue" configurations.
FLIR Systems thermal imaging systems can of course be configured for standalone use.
They are also "intelligent sensors" and can easily be deployed as plug & play elements in
a TCP/IP network.
3.7.1 Plug & play TCP/IP interface
FLIR’s MultiSensors has a software agent or server that turns each system into a plug &
play manageable network object in TCP/IP networks providing control, configuration and
video over IP. The FLIR interface server is making each FLIR MultiSensor a network
manageable node. The server is running in embedded electronics and can also be run
on rack-mount industrial PCs and used with other objects. Drivers are available for devices such as: Thermal imaging and CCTV Cameras, Radars, Alarm Contacts, Fence &
Ground Sensors, Vehicles, UAV or Meteo Stations.
