UAVs and IR

Recommended Posts

I am playtesting a scenario of mine which I hope to release soon and noticed that my Raven, 40 mins down the battle, has difficulty in identifying enemy vehicles. The scenario takes place in during a misty night. I though UAVs have IR and night vision, no?

They are supposed to but I have also noticed they can't see anything in less than clear weather. Then again, the cameras on the Raven are pretty small. UAV spotting in various conditions will get a closer look at some point.

Raven is pretty much commercial parts at a 100% price mark up.  It's really good for letting you know something is on an objective, but it's a small remote controlled plane sized platform.  The optics and platform performance suffer accordingly (on the other hand, it's the sort of thing that gives virtually every company in the Army it's own personal UAV).
