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

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 with image blending, split screen, and picture-in-picture options.

Advanced Imaging
The system provides real HD thermal and color imaging for enhanced mission effectiveness. A SWIR camera allows visibility through sea mist, smog, smoke, and haze, offering imagery when other sensors cannot.

Expandability and Upgradability
The SeaFLIR 280-HD 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 use in challenging environments, the SeaFLIR 280-HD features a high MTBF to reduce spares and engineering support needs. It is often backwardly compatible with existing FLIR maritime sensor cabling and is ruggedly designed to withstand harsh conditions. FLIR's global service network ensures local assistance is available if needed.

Conclusion
The SeaFLIR 280-HD represents a significant advancement in compact maritime surveillance systems, offering excellent long-range performance in extreme sea conditions.
