Abstract
An infrared thermal monitoring system for use by a range or safety officer to monitor and record a tank gunnery training battle scene during poor visibility conditions, such as inclement weather and totally dark night time conditions. The system is comprised of readily available components which are used with the head assembly of a U.S. Army tank thermal sight (TTS) which converts an infrared image of battle scene into a visible image for display. The components are a charge coupled device (CCD) camera mounted on the head assembly for direct viewing of the visible image, a control console which controls the function of the head assembly and provides additional information to the output of the camera.
