The NODLR system consists of an infrared Thermal Observation Device (TOD), a Laser Range Finder (LRF), and a goniometer.

CONT

The night observation device, long-range (NODLR) allows infrared thermal viewing of night or daylight targets during all weather conditions. Infrared thermal technology allows the viewer to "see" heat sources, greatly improving observation in certain conditions such as fog and darkness. The NODLR can determine data on potential targets such as range, azimuth, and elevation. It may be mounted on a tripod and operated with a battery pack, or mounted on a vehicle (for static operation only).
