Les premiers systèmes de surveillance à longue portée étaient de gros appareils montés sur trépied, configuration qui est encore largement répandue dans cette application. Le MRTI (multi-role thermal imager) de Thorn EMI en est l'exemple type. Complété d'un télémètre à laser collimaté avec l'optique et d'une tête de triangulation, l'ensemble devient l'Otis (Observer thermal imaging system) qu'utilisent au moins trois armées dont l'Armée britannique. 2, record 1, French, - imageur%20thermique%20polyvalent
