Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (ATFLIR)

Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) is an advanced electronic system used by military aircraft to detect, identify, and track targets at long distances, especially in low visibility conditions such as darkness or bad weather. It uses infrared sensors to create detailed thermal images of objects, allowing pilots to see and engage targets with high accuracy. ATFLIR also integrates targeting lasers and communication links to coordinate with missile systems and weapons, enhancing precision and effectiveness in combat scenarios. By combining thermal imaging with targeting technology, ATFLIR significantly improves situational awareness and mission success.
