The document describes the Catherine-FC compact thermal imager from Thales. It has a small size that allows for easy integration in vehicles. It operates in the 8-12 μm spectral band, detecting camouflaged targets day and night without being affected by obscurants or solar glare. It has a weight under 5.5kg, video output of 625 lines at 50Hz, and operates from -40°C to +55°C in rugged conditions. Its range performance chart shows detection and identification distances for actual targets using narrow and wide fields of view, with and without a teleconverter.
