七十年代初期,美国陆军“夜视和电子光学实验室”研制成功热象仪。由于它的造价很高,使其应用受到限制。1976年,该实验室突破了《通用组件》热象仪技术,使制造成本大为降低,为热象仪的普通应用奠定了基础。德意志联邦共和国在1974年对微光夜视技术与红外热成象技术作了部队对此试验,认识到热成象技术对发挥部队24小时的战斗能力具有重大 In the early seventies, the United States Army “Night Vision and Electro-Optical Laboratory” developed a thermal imager. Due to its high cost, its application is limited. In 1976, the laboratory broke through the “common component” thermal imager technology, greatly reducing manufacturing costs, and laid the foundation for the common application of the thermal imager. In 1974, the Federal Republic of Germany conducted a military trial of the technology of glimmering night vision and infrared thermography, recognizing that thermal imaging techniques are of great importance for the unit’s 24-hour combat capability
