With wavelengths from 750 nm to 1 mm, infrared starts at the end of the microwave spectrum and ends at the beginning of visible light. Infrared transmission typically requires an unobstructed line of sight between transmitter and receiver.

| to fuse three optical sensors--the visible range, long-wave infrared and short-wave infrared (SWIR). Flameless catalytic gas heater panels for roll- and sheet-fed thermoformers use median to long-wave infrared energy and aid in reducing costs over electric IR. The helmet-mounted goggle will digitally combine video imagery from a low-light-level visible sensor and an uncooled long-wave infrared sensor on a single color display located in front of the soldier's eye. |
