Thermal cameras that soldiers could carry are in view

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory has developed a thermal imaging detector more than ten times as efficient as current designs, work that could lead to cameras small and light enough to fit on drones or be carried by individual soldiers, the laboratory stated. The problem being addressed is temperature. High-performance thermal cameras have to be chilled to around minus 193 degrees Celsius to work properly, and the cooling engines th…
