The following describes a lightweight infrared system that is ideal for mounting on light aircraft for surveillance purposes. Use of a platinum silicide staring array detector helps to minimize mechanisms and use of the 3-5 micron infrared band enables the infrared optics to consume a smaller volume. Use was made of this combination to create an infrared sensor head that weighs less than 45 pounds and only protrudes 5.5 ' outside an aircraft skin.
