Frequently Asked Questions

What is thermal fusion technology?

Thermal fusion combines the image intensification of traditional night vision with the high-contrast thermal imaging, creating a composite view that enhances target detection and identification in various conditions.

What are the advantages of the AGM Fuzion LRF's fusion mode?

The fusion mode on the AGM Fuzion LRF allows users to see through glass, read text like license plates, and identify faces, which pure thermal imagers cannot do. It also helps detect subjects using poor light discipline.

What are the limitations of thermal fusion compared to pure thermal?

While beneficial, fusion mode can introduce 'noise' or ghosting artifacts in natural environments, potentially reducing image clarity compared to a dedicated thermal imager operating solely on heat signatures.

What are the different models in the AGM Fuzion LRF series?

The series includes models like the TM35-640 with a 35mm lens and 640 resolution, and the TM50-640 with a 50mm lens and 3x base magnification, offering varying detection and identification ranges.
