Exellent review. What sensing technology does this imager use? How does that compare to the competitive offerings also mentioned in the article?

I'm wondering what wavelength (MWIR, LWIR, etc.), is it cooled or uncooled, microbolometer or something else, etc....

Craig is correct. It's an uncooled microbolometer FLIR core. LWIR. None of the cameras in our tests were cooled, because the price jump is significant, and they're used far less.
