A Tale of Two FLIRs
USSOCOM PEO Maritime Boats Upgrading from a Legacy FLIR to CCFLIR2 really is a “Big Dealâ€

In the quest for “We own the night,†FLIR Generations do matter. SOCOM’s CCFLIR2 for its NAVSPECWARCOM’s Special Boat Service Combat Craft vessels will give crews an enhanced capability that they never had.
Enter the USSOCOM CCFLIR2
In the September 2015 statement by FLIR® Inc.:
The CCFLIR2 is a day/night and infrared imaging system that provides operators the capability to detect visible light or infrared radiation reflected or emitted by surface targets at tactically significant ranges in all operational environments. CCFLIR2 provides increased detection, recognition and identification ranges in all conditions; constant interrogation of targets across the spectrum of operations; and greater situational awareness with high-definition imaging and zoom capability. CCFLIR2 incorporates improved optics and image processing that allows the user to see the same target in multiple wavelengths, highlighting the target features and discriminators. CCFLIR2 integrates with embedded navigational systems and other shipboard systems to provide target and way-point geolocation and tracking functionality. CCFLIR2 is part of a collection of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems available for use on Special Operations Force maritime craft.
