The other troubling aspect of BVR [beyond visual range] technology is that too often fratricide incidents have revealed that soldiers were not willing to wait for identification of what they had detected. This becomes the double-edged sword of continuing to field BVR technology without improving its identification capability.

Domaine(s)
  • Surveillance, détection et reconnaissance (Militaire)
  • Acquisition d'objectif
CONT

L'autre aspect troublant des techniques BVR [au-delà de la limite visuelle] est que, trop souvent, les incidents de nature fratricide ont révélé que les soldats n'étaient pas disposés à attendre que l'objet détecté ait été identifié. Cette attitude devient l'arme à double tranchant que constitue la poursuite d'une mise en service de techniques BVR sans améliorer leur capacité d'identification.
