Advanced Multi-Spectrum Fusion Imaging
The TD87 combines thermal imaging and low-light visible imaging into a single observation platform using real-time image fusion algorithms.
Compared with standalone thermal imagers or traditional night vision devices, fusion imaging improves:
- Detection of camouflaged targets
- Environmental awareness in darkness
- Observation through smoke, fog, and haze
- Recognition of terrain and structural detail
Operators can switch between multiple display modes including:
- White Hot
- Black Hot
- Fusion Color
- Fusion Gray
- Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
- Low-Light Observation
This flexible observation system adapts to changing operational environments and visibility conditions.
Long-Range Thermal Observation Capability
The TD87 is equipped with a 384×288 uncooled VOx infrared detector with ≤35mK thermal sensitivity and a 50mm infrared lens optimized for long-range thermal detection.
Thermal Detection Performance:
- Human target recognition distance: up to 1470m
- Human target identification distance: up to 368m
The integrated low-light CMOS sensor further improves long-range observation performance under extremely low illumination conditions.
Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) technology improves:
- Edge sharpness
- Thermal contrast
- Target visibility at distance
- Recognition accuracy in complex backgrounds
Dual OLED Binocular Display Design
The TD87 uses dual 1024×768 OLED displays to provide a comfortable binocular viewing experience during prolonged observation missions.
Advantages include:
- Reduced operator eye fatigue
- Improved depth perception
- High thermal image contrast
- Fast image response during target tracking
- Enhanced observation comfort during long-duration surveillance
Independent diopter adjustment supports users with different vision requirements and improves operational comfort in field conditions.
Integrated GPS, Electronic Compass & Wi-Fi Connectivity
The TD87 integrates GPS positioning, electronic compass functionality, wireless image transmission, and onboard recording into a single tactical observation platform.
Key functions include:
- Real-time coordinate display
- Azimuth and pitch indication
- Geo-referenced image and video recording
- Remote viewing through Wi-Fi connection
- Rapid mission documentation and evidence collection
Captured photos and videos can be stored directly to internal memory and exported through USB or RS232 interfaces for mission review and reporting.
Rugged IP67 Field-Ready Construction
Designed for harsh operational environments, the TD87 features an IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof housing with reliable low-temperature performance.
Environmental capabilities include:
- Operating temperature: -40°C to +55°C
- Waterproof protection against rain and temporary immersion
- Dust-resistant sealed structure
- Suitable for maritime, desert, mountain, and winter environments
The lightweight 1.51kg handheld design improves mobility during extended patrol and reconnaissance operations.
Long-Endurance Tactical Power System
The TD87 uses four replaceable 18650 low-temperature batteries to support extended field deployment.
Power system benefits:
- Up to 5 hours continuous operation
- Replaceable battery configuration
- Stable low-temperature performance
- Suitable for long-duration outdoor surveillance missions
This design improves operational endurance during border patrol, overnight observation, and emergency response operations.
