Official Description

The Navy is developing and deploying a suite of imaging sensors (cameras) operating across both visible and infrared (IR) wavelengths. This includes wide field of view (WFOV) cameras that provide panoramic surveillance, situational awareness and, due to their high resolution, target detection. Camera sensors, even those operating in the IR, provide information (video imagery) to the ship’s crew that is fundamentally familiar, intuitive, and contextual. However, imagery in the visible band has an...
