What is the concept of NETD < 18MK?

In the field of modern shooting, whether it is military, hunting or outdoor sports, accurate ballistic calculation is the key. With the continuous development of thermal imaging technology, thermal imaging ballistic calculation system has gradually become an important tool to improve shooting accuracy. Today, we will discuss in depth the principles, applications and future trends of thermal imaging ballistic calculation.

Principles of thermal imaging ballistic calculation

(1) What is ballistic calculation?

The core of ballistic calculation is to predict the trajectory of a bullet from the muzzle to the target through a high-precision algorithm. It needs to consider a variety of factors, including the initial velocity, weight, air resistance, wind direction, wind speed, gravity and target distance of the bullet. Traditional ballistic calculation relies on complex mathematical models and manual input parameters, but modern technology has simplified it into an intelligent system.

(2) How does thermal imaging technology help ballistic calculation?

Thermal imaging sights capture the thermal radiation of the target through highly sensitive thermal sensors, and can produce clear images even in low light or no light conditions. Combined with a laser rangefinder, thermal imaging sights can obtain the target distance in real time and input this data into the ballistic calculation system. For example, the DT50Lyubeen rangefinder thermal imaging scope has a built-in laser rangefinder that can accurately measure the target distance and automatically calculate the trajectory.

(3) Key parameters for trajectory calculation

Initial velocity of the bullet: the speed of the bullet when it leaves the muzzle, usually measured by professional equipment.

Ballistic coefficient (BC value): reflects the degree to which the bullet is affected by air resistance during flight.

Target distance: obtained in real time through a laser rangefinder.

Environmental factors: including temperature, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed, which affect the flight trajectory of the bullet.

Application of thermal imaging trajectory calculation

(1) Military field

In military operations, the thermal imaging trajectory calculation system can help soldiers quickly lock on to targets and shoot accurately in complex environments. After entering key information, the zero point can be calculated. This intelligent trajectory calculation system greatly improves shooting efficiency and hit rate.

(2) Hunting scene

For hunting enthusiasts, the thermal imaging trajectory calculation system also performs well. It can help hunters quickly identify and lock prey at night or in bad weather conditions, and automatically calculate the trajectory. For example, Prade’s thermal imaging night vision device combines intelligent ballistic calculation and laser ranging functions, allowing hunters to accurately shoot in dynamic environments.

(3) Civilian market

In the civilian field, thermal imaging ballistic calculation systems are also becoming popular. With the development of thermal imaging, most of the market uses the function of trajectory calculation, which is more complex than our AI ballistics. In the next article, we will talk about our latest ballistic system.

Future trends of thermal imaging ballistic calculation

(1) Intelligence and automation

Future thermal imaging ballistic calculation systems will be more intelligent, able to automatically identify targets and adjust trajectories in real time. For example, the AI ​​three-point intelligent ballistic calculation system can adjust the aiming point in real time according to the dynamic changes of the target.

(2) Higher accuracy and reliability

With the continuous advancement of thermal imaging technology, the accuracy of the trajectory calculation system will be further improved. For example, the YUBEEN DT50L thermal imaging scope is equipped with a high-resolution sensor and a low-noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD≤18mK), which can provide clearer imaging and more accurate trajectory calculation.

(3) Multi-scenario adaptability

The future thermal imaging ballistic calculation system will not only be limited to military and hunting scenarios, but will also expand to more civilian fields, such as security monitoring, rescue operations, etc.

Summary

The thermal imaging ballistic calculation system greatly improves the accuracy and efficiency of shooting by combining advanced thermal imaging technology and high-precision ballistic algorithms. Whether it is military operations, hunting or the civilian market, this intelligent system has shown great application potential. With the continuous advancement of technology, the thermal imaging ballistic calculation system will become more intelligent, accurate and popular, providing users with more powerful support.
