Introduction
The SeaFLIR 280-HD is the world's first compact, long-range HD system designed for maritime applications. It offers unparalleled optical and system performance, building on FLIR Systems' extensive experience in maritime surveillance and targeting.

Core Technologies and Performance
All core technologies are manufactured by FLIR, ensuring reliability and trust. With over 1,000 maritime systems produced since 1998, the SeaFLIR 280-HD meets demanding military standards and maritime OEM environmental requirements. It boasts over 1,500,000 operational hours at sea, demonstrating a strong performance history.

Design and Capabilities
The system features a lightweight turret (<55lbs) that minimizes center of gravity and mast strength requirements on small vessels. It offers 982mm focal length optics, providing 2-4 times greater magnification than other systems. The SeaFLIR 280-HD includes continuous zoom lenses for thermal, color, and low light, ensuring uninterrupted field of view changes. It also supports dual-view capabilities, including image blending and split-screen options.

Advanced Imaging
The SeaFLIR 280-HD provides real HD thermal and color imaging, enhancing mission effectiveness. Its SWIR camera can penetrate sea mist, smog, smoke, and haze, offering imagery when other sensors cannot.

Expandability and Upgradability
The system supports up to three cameras and three laser payloads simultaneously, along with a high-precision Inertial Measurement Unit. This multi-sensor approach enhances surveillance and targeting applications.

Support and Maintainability
Designed for harsh environments, the SeaFLIR 280-HD features a high mean time between failures (MTBF) to reduce spares and support requirements. It is often backwardly compatible with existing FLIR maritime sensor cabling and is supported by FLIR's global network of service centers.

Conclusion
The SeaFLIR 280-HD represents a significant advancement in compact maritime imaging systems, offering exceptional long-range performance tailored for extreme sea conditions.
