FLIR`s Engineering team has adopted the following general
policy
regarding modeling inputs and outputs:
As required, detection range models can be performed for major
proposals where standard configurations are insufficient, and where a
custom configuration and the model inputs/outputs are necessary to
secure the business. In cases like this, the opportunity must undergo a
business worthiness assessment to justify the use of engineering
resources.
The Engineering team does not perform or support “what-if”
modeling for
customers, except as part of a sanctioned business development
activity. If a customer is having difficulty determining from the
product specifications that FLIR provides (pixel size, lens focal
length, and NEdT) as to whether or not a certain system’s performance
is sufficient for their application, then using a more complex model
like NVTherm is very unlikely to get the customer closer to a reliable
answer.
