FLIR, or Forward Looking InfraRed Sensor, is a type of thermal imaging technology that detects infrared radiation to create images based on temperature differences. Widely used in military, surveillance, firefighting, and search and rescue applications, FLIR systems enable operators to see in total darkness and through obscurants like smoke or fog, enhancing situational awareness and operational effectiveness.
