Thermoteknix Systems has announced that it will supply its ClipIR Small Thermal Imager Clip On to the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) under a £1.5 million contract, announced 7 February 2012.
The contract will see the company supply an initial quantity of 180 ClipIR units, spares and accessories. The ClipIR units, compatible with most Night Vision Goggles and Monocular Image Intensifiers, are expected to be delivered directly to UK Special Forces frontline troops.
According to the company, ClipIR extends the use of image intensifier performance into total darkness and low light conditions. It features a full 40° Field of View with fusion of both thermal and intensified imagery and 384x288 thermal resolution for 40% more coverage than 320x240 based detectors and up to 4 and half hours operation from a single AA battery across a full ambient temperature range. ClipIR incorporates Thermoteknix’ unique patented shutterless MicroCAM XTi Technology, removing the need for internal mechanical shuttering or lens cap corrections and delivering continuous, uninterrupted thermal image from its instant switch-on.
