The latest generation of heavily armored vehicles and the proliferation of IEDs in urban combat environments dictate
that electro-optical systems play a greater role in situational awareness for ground vehicles. FLIR systems has been
addressing the needs of the ground vehicle community by developing unique sensor systems combining thermal imaging
and electro-optical sensors, advanced image processing, and networking capabilities into compact, cost effective
packages.
This paper will discuss one of those new products, the WideEye II. The WideEye II combines long wave infrared and
electro-optical sensors in a 180 degree field of view, single integrated package to meet the critical needs of the
warfighter. It includes seamless electronic stitching of the 180 degree image, and state of the art networking capability to
allow it to be operated standalone or to be fully integrated with modern combat vehicle systems. The paper will discuss
system tradeoffs and capabilities of this new product and show potential applications for its use.
