Looking to the future: MoD awards joint UK team ￡8m contract to develop 'third generation' thermal imagers

摘要

A NEW GENERATION of thermal imaging technology offering much higher resolution and sensitivity is to be developed by a UK research team comprising engineers from Qinetiq, Thales UK, Selex Sensors and Airborne Systems. The MoD has awarded the team an ￡8.45m, two-year contract to develop three different thermal imagers to be used on future military platforms, such as Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) - the Army's next-generation suite of vehicles.
