RESULTS CONTD.. • GOOD NETWORKING • APPRECIATION OF RCCNZ SAD SOFTWARE
CONCLUSIONS FLIR • HAS LOW POD FOR PERSONS IN THE WATER SENARIO • NARROW FIELD OF VIEW • NEEDS TO BE IN HIGH POD AREA • PERSON IN WATER WILL RAPIDLY COOL TO ENVIRONMENT MAKING IDENTIFICATION DIFFICULT • NEEDS TO BE SKILLED OPERATOR NVGs • NVGS PROVED TO BE MOST EFFECTIVE • IROQUOIS MOST SUCCESSFUL DUE TO FLIGHT PROFILE OF 250FT AMSL AT 70 KTS – DARK NIGHT • MULITPLE NVGS IMPROVE CHANCE OF DETECTIBILITY • GREATER AREA COVERAGE
