Infrared radar

[AngelKing]

What is the maximum altitude infrared radar can be effectively used from an aircraft over the water?

Thanks

I think he said 'huh' because there isn't really 'infrared radar.' There is radar and there is infrared optical systems.

Besides, even if I knew the range of such a system, I wouldn't disclose it on a forum. You see there is this thing called need to know, and you don't. Actually I don't either, which is why I forgot all that kind of stuff as fast as possible after learning it.

If you do have a need to know, then go look in the classified books that talk about that kind of stuff. If you don't have access to them, guess what?

What he said.

I heard it is around eleventy-billion inches.

I think what you mean to ask is what is the mean distance that night vision sonar can detect laser powered radar while outside the infrared spectrum. Unfortunately the answer is classified.

No, what he meant to ask was what is the maximum operating altitude of spherical lyrical diabolical Dennison's of the deep while operating simultaneously and at the same time.

Thats classified.

Happy New Year.
