However clouds can get in the way of electro-optical sensors.

He had no heat signature and active electro-optical sensors would not show his outline.

The electro-optical sensors can detect and identify chemical weapon agents on surfaces.

A-6A conversion for low-level attack role with electro-optical sensors, twelve converted.

Electro-optical sensors, which guide radars, operate on aircraft, ground stations, and ships.

Terminal guidance was via an electro-optical sensor, with a backup infrared seeker also included.

The film was moved during exposure to compensate for the spacecraft velocity, which was estimated by an electro-optical sensor.

The time to orient the fibers in equidistant planes is measured with a laser and an electro-optical sensor.

Fitted with large underwing pods containing electro-optical sensors.

Electro-optical sensors are electronic detectors that convert light, or a change in light, into an electronic signal.

Its principal activities include advanced technology in electro-optical sensors, communication and control systems for aerospace and ground armament weapons systems.

Electro-optical sensors are directional and precise, so need to be cued by acoustic or other omnidirectional sensors.

Testing of the onboard systems was planned to be started in early 2005 and integration of the electro-optical sensor suite planned for July 2005.

Either the daylight variable aperture or the infrared electro-optical sensor may be operated simultaneously with the synthetic aperture radar, if equipped.

The interceptor is a two-stage missile, with two targeting and guidance systems installed in its nose-tip (a radar and an electro-optical sensor).

The UCAVs would be equipped with fairly simple radar or electro-optical sensors to give the operators imagery of the target.

The AH-1Z incorporates new rotor technology with upgraded military avionics, weapons systems, and electro-optical sensors in an integrated weapons platform.

In general, for a fixed sensor, electro-optical sensors, in UV, visual, or infrared spectra, will outperform imaging radar.

TADS contains stabilized electro-optical sensors, a laser rangefinder and laser target designator.

For those vehicles without a transponder, special electro-optical sensors read the number plate and a bill for the toll is sent to the vehicle owner in the mail.

Today, tethered balloons are used for lifting cameras, radio antennas, electro-optical sensors, radio-relay equipment and advertising banners - often for long durations.

One family of techniques, which will require electro-optical sensors to detect, is bioluminescence: light generated by the movement of a vessel through plankton and other marine life.

Once, passing over Hawaii, the shuttle served as a target for calibrating ground-based electro-optical sensors being tested by the Air Force on the island of Maui.

These electro-optical sensor combinations also enable the detection of none-hydrocarbons like hydrogen fires without the risk of false alarms, caused by artificial light or electrical welding.
