The pyroelectric vidicon (PEV) was studied as a complement or cheaper alternative to FLIR, nightvision and terminal guidance devices. The PEV's sensitivity to vibrations was reduced to an acceptable level. Infrared camera tests of a boat taken from an aircraft and vibration sensitivity tests of the PEV in an aircraft are reported. Characteristics of crystalline, polymer, and ceramic pyroelectric material are given.
