The application of thermal imaging technology in the military field

2025-08-04 Visits:

Currently, infrared technology is very popular across various industries. Infrared thermal imaging night vision devices are a type of night vision device developed based on infrared technology. Furthermore, infrared technology can also comprehensively meet military needs. The following article will provide a detailed introduction to the military's applications of infrared thermal imaging night vision devices.


Infrared thermal imaging night vision devices can be used in the military for infrared guidance. Infrared guidance uses infrared detection instruments to capture and track the energy radiated by a target to achieve ground-seeking guidance. Infrared guidance technology is a crucial means for accurately guiding weapons and is widely used in multi-directional guided weapons, including air-to-air, air-to-ground, and ground-to-air.

Interference and Countermeasures

Infrared thermal imaging night vision devices can be used in the military for interference and countermeasures. Infrared countermeasures can disrupt the enemy's infrared detection and identification systems, rendering them ineffective. Countermeasures can be categorized into two types: evasion and deception. Evasion involves using camouflage to conceal military equipment and weapons, preventing the enemy from detecting the infrared radiation source in the equipment room. Deception involves using radiation sources with a wavelength similar to one's own but more intense to decoy the enemy's infrared detection system. Active countermeasures include infrared decoys and jammers, which are often installed on aircraft and warships to divert incoming infrared-guided missiles.


Weapon Sights

Infrared thermal imaging night vision devices can be used in the military to implement weapon sights. Weapon sights can be mounted directly on various weapons and operate in adverse weather conditions and various battlefield conditions, including sparse foliage, smoke, fog, and camouflage.


Fire Control

Infrared thermal imaging night vision devices can be used in the military for fire control. Low-light-level night vision devices have limited range on moonless or starless nights and are easily affected by smoke and haze, making it difficult to detect camouflaged targets. In addition to overcoming the aforementioned shortcomings of low-light-level night vision devices, infrared thermal imaging night vision devices can also automatically track targets based on their thermal signature.


Of course, infrared thermal imaging night vision devices of different types and sizes have different functions and effects. How to choose an infrared thermal imaging night vision device that suits you and is cheap among a wide variety of infrared thermal imaging night vision devices is a problem we should be concerned about. When choosing, we should do more research or learn more about some user reviews. These can help us choose the right infrared thermal imaging night vision device.
