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). 3, record 1, English, - long%2Drange%20night%20observation%20device

La technologie thermique par infrarouge du NODLR permet aux soldats de «voir» des sources de chaleur telles que des soldats et véhicules ennemis. Elle augmente grandement l'observation par mauvais temps et sous l'obscurité. Le NODLR est également équipé d'un télémètre laser. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9piscope%20d%27observation%20nocturne%20longue%20port%C3%A9e

Even with greater emphasis on recognition training, it is impossible to identify an armoured fighting vehicle as being friend or foe beyond the thermal recognition range, currently 800 to 1500 metres (depending on weather conditions and object vehicle orientation). Despite this inability to positively identify a vehicle beyond a certain range, the tube-launched optically-tracked wire-guided (TOW) system can still track and engage a heat source out to 3750 meters. The night observation device long range (NODLR) with its thermal sight can also be used to adjust artillery fire out to 4 km ... 2, record 2, English, - night%20observation%20device%20long%20range
