What primary purpose does the SeaFLIR II imaging system serve?

The primary purpose of the SeaFLIR II imaging system is enhanced surveillance and imaging. This system is designed to provide high-resolution thermal and infrared imaging, which significantly improves the ability to detect and identify targets, especially in low-light or challenging weather conditions. Its capabilities are crucial for maritime operations where situational awareness is vital, such as monitoring for threats, aiding in law enforcement, and supporting other operational missions. This advanced imaging technology enables personnel to gather detailed information about their surroundings, enhancing the effectiveness of operations at sea.

In contrast, while the system can support search and rescue operations, its primary function revolves around surveillance. It is not specifically aimed at civilian navigation assistance or coastal protection as its core design focuses on imaging and surveillance capabilities.
