Procedures and Guidelines for Thermal Imaging

摘要

The thermal training package comprises a handbook and a slide presentation with accompanying script. The handbook contains a description of how the thermal sight works; a review of the thermal controls; and step-by-step procedures for obtaining an initial thermal image, for pre-marking control settings to facilitate obtaining a thermal image, and for scanning a sector; there are also guidelines to help gunners classify detections and estimate range. The scripted slide presentation shows BFV personnel the capabilities of the thermal sight and teaches them how to interpret a thermal image and recognize thermal cues.
