About the Recon III

The new Recon III ObservIR is a thermal binocular with a three field of view system that delivers excellent range performance from 45 to 220 mm.

Superior to any night vision technology, the Recon III has a long-wave, uncooled imager and a high sensitivity, mid-wave InSb sensor for long range imaging.

ObservIR is ergonomic, lightweight, flexible, and will run for more than 4.5 hours on standard D size Lithium Ion batteries. Recon III can be configured with a laser pointer for addition tactical advantage.

The Recon III is the most versatile reconnaissance imager available for both day and night vision.

Recon III Detection, Range, Identification (DRI)

Detection   Identification  
> 5 Miles
> 3,200'
  • Human DRI Human DRI
  • Vehicle DRI Vehicle DRI
  • Boat DRI Inflatable Boat DRI
The Johnson Criteria assumes that the critical dimension for a human being is 0.75 meters. To get DRI, you need 1.5 pixels, 6 pixels and 12 pixels across 0.75 meters in the object pane. That means:

Detection = 1.5 pixels / 0.75m = 2 pixels per meter
Recognition = 6 pixels / 0.75m = 8 pixels per meter
Identification = 12 pixels / 0.75m = 16 pixels per meter

Assuming that a man is 1.83m by 0.5m, the following would apply:
Human Detection
Detection  
3.6 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there)
Human Recognition
Recognition  
13 pixels by 5 pixels
(You can see that a
person is there)
Human Identification
Identification  
28.8 pixels by 8 pixels
(You can see that the
person looks like a soldier)

2.8 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there)
Vehicle Recognition
Recognition  
13 pixels by 5 pixels
(You can see that a
vehicle is there)

26 pixels by 10 pixels
(You can see that the
vehicle may be a humvee)

Assuming that a inflatable boat is 9m by 1m, the following would apply:
Boat Detection
Detection  
4.5 pixels by 1 pixel
(You can see something
is there)
Boat Recognition
Recognition  
18 pixels by 2 pixels
(You can see that a
boat of some kind is there)
Boat Identification
Identification  
36 pixels by 4 pixels
(You can see that the boat
is a small Inflatable Boat)
