Technical criteria for choosing between Gen 2+ image intensification, uncooled thermography, and multi-spectral fusion. Comparison by sector, budget, and operating conditions in Peru.
Image intensification amplifies ambient light through an intensifier tube. Gen 2+ (FOM 1,400-1,800) is accessible for institutions; Gen 3 (FOM >2,000) is SOCOM standard. Thermal imaging detects infrared radiation regardless of light — it works in total darkness, smoke, and fog, detecting human signatures through vegetation at 800-1,200m with quality uncooled cameras. Multi-spectral fusion combines both in real time.
Special Forces: Gen 3 I² or I²+thermal fusion for maximum stealth. Perimeter surveillance: cooled or high-res uncooled thermal for 24/7 1,500m+ detection. Police: Gen 2+ or uncooled portable (no ITAR restrictions). Industrial: uncooled thermal for equipment inspection.
