Abstract (en)
A thermal cueing device is used to control a targetting system. The thermal cueing device has a thermal imager (2) and object identifying means (3) for identifying "hot spots" in the image produced thereby. A head-up display (5) displays, in association with a view of the scene represented by said image, a marker, including an identifying symbol, positioned so as to indicate the location of each object in the scene. A key pad (9) is provided to enable an operator to indicate the selection of an object according to its identifying symbol, and directing means (8, 12) direct the second thermal imager (14), of higher magnification, forming part of the targetting pad (13), according to the image coordinates for the selected object. The second thermal imager produces an enlarged image of the selected object, and permits a guidance system to lock on to this image.
