Open ended question - Advantage of the FLIR over what? What mission are you thinking of? National Cash Register Serial Number Search. I'll assume it's for an observation mission of some sort - and the answer is that it turns night into day for the person using the FLIR.

Not so much of an advantage in daylight (although it is useful for finding hot things like bodies hiding in shrubbery), and not so very good at all in rain (at least the ones I've seen). Not very good for direct flying, unless you can control where the FLIR looks automatically with your head (like the Apache).

In fact, for observation missions without being hooked up to the head tracker, it can be downright dangerous. ASV, There are three general types of FLIR (Forward Looking Infra Red) sensors for helos. They all share the basic FLIR sensor, which shows heat, not light, and so is useful in black of night: 1) FLIR turret with heads down display. This is the most prevalent type, where the FLIR acts like a TV and displays on a tube in the cockpit. The crew points to FLIR, and can adjust focus, zoom, white-hot/black-hot, and contrast, as well as point the FLIR with some kind of slew switch. This FLIR is used for searching, especially for sea survivors, where the heat picture from the FLIR will display a warm floater or raft at great distances. In sophisticated installations, the FLIR can be pointed by the navigation system, using the grids of the survivor, or by the radar, where the FLIR can be directed to oint to the place where the radar found something.

These are known as Geo point or radar point capabilities. A search flir is almost useless for flight cues, since it shows a picture that whirls and spins when the aircraft moves.

It is very useful for searching in low light, of course. 2) Flir with head mounted display (HMD) - Here, the flir is tied to a helmet display (a small tv suspended over one or both eyes). On many HMD's the flir is reflected off a mirrored glass, so the pilot can see thru the image if the background is bright enough. Here a sensor on the pilot's head/helmet reads the angle of the helmet, and directs the flir to point to suit, so the pilot can direct the flir with simple looks. This is most natural, and effective as a flight cue for pilots to fly in zero light circumstances. It is however somewhat expensive.

In really sexy systems, the flir is dual eye. Even more impressive are those that have computer cues displayed in addition to the flir, so the pilot can read his flight instruments, weapons cautions etc.
