Product news: FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR), a leader in thermal imaging and stabilized camera systems, has announced an affordable new thermal imager for the recreational maritime market. The FLIR Navigator series empowers boaters with the ability to safely and confidently navigate at night and during other hazardous low-visibility conditions such as light fog, smoke and haze. FLIR has leveraged the same rigorously tested thermal imaging technology found in FLIR’s military vision systems into its Navigator. Unlike night-vision scopes that require light to provide an image, the Navigator features a proprietary imaging technology originally designed for use in combat. Housed in a rugged, waterproof enclosure, the Navigator provides a wide angle image that can be viewed on virtually any existing multi-function display. Crisp, clear images of obstacles such as channel markers, shipping lane traffic, terrain outcroppings, pilings, bridges, nearby vessels, floating debris and people in the water, are easily discernable in total darkness. “Thermal imaging is fast becoming an indispensable tool for recreational boating safety” said Lou Rota, vice president of maritime business development at FLIR Systems. “Now even the most budget-minded boater can utilize the same thermal imaging technology used by mega-yacht owners and the military.” |
