INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Command is the latest and most technologically-advanced family of thermal imaging bi-oculars for the
sporting, law enforcement, and military markets. The Command product line is based on the FLIR Tau 2 VOx
microbolometer core, and is composed of different models – each optimized for performance, price, and state-
of-the-art technology that is suitable for a variety of uses and missions.
The Command is a solid state, uncooled, long-wave infrared, magnified, dedicated handheld thermal imager
intended for day and nighttime missions.
The 24/7 mission capability is only one of the strengths of the Command line. The thermal imaging technology
also allows you to detect targets by cutting through snow, dust, smoke, fog, haze, and other atmospheric
obscurants. Unlike the use of laser targeting or near-infrared illumination to augment night vision equipment,
the Command thermal imager is extremely difficult to detect with other devices, as it emits no visible light or
RF energy.
The Command is available in different versions, with optical magnifications ranging from 2x to 5x. Command
series also provides up to 8x digital zoom for models based on 640x512 cores and up to 4x digital zoom for
models based on a 336x256 core.
The Command is powered by two CR123A (2×3V) batteries. The Extended Battery Pack or 6VDC/ 600mA
power source can also be used to power the Command.
The Command can be controlled by a wireless remote control.
The Command is equipped with a standard NTSC/PAL video input/output function that makes it possible to
connect to an external video display or monitor, or to record thermal images for field documentation or training
purposes. It also allows the transmission of data from one remote display to that of the Command.
The Command can be used in conjunction with other equipment such as the Digital Video Recorder that can
be mounted onto the Command’ Picatinny/ Weaver rail.
Extremely reliable and versatile, the Command is a highly useful thermal imaging system.
