What (who) is Forward-Looking Infrared - definition
Forward-looking infrared
TYPE OF THERMOGRAPHIC CAMERA
FLIR; Forward-looking infra-red; Thermal imaging common modules; Flir; Forward Looking Infrared; NAVFLIR; Forward-Looking Infrared; Forward looking infrared
Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras, typically used on military and civilian aircraft, use a thermographic camera that senses infrared radiation.
Forward-looking statement
In United States business law, a forward-looking statement or safe harbor statement is a statement that cannot sustain itself as merely a historical fact. A forward-looking statement predicts, projects, or uses future events as expectations or possibilities.

Examples of use of Forward-Looking Infrared
1. HH–60G crews have night–vision goggles, infrared lighting and a forward–looking infrared system that enhance night operations. «These guys did it like it was old hat,» Roness said.
