greetings kind regards . i wish to post a somewhat off-topic question . it concerns snipers . you read that korrektly . today i viewed a film i.e. "Sniper: The White Raven" . in it the snipers attempt w/ some difficulty to locate each other utilizing their gun mounted telescopic sights . it occurred to me this may be a trivial task to perform as it seemed to me infrared sensors/cameras can be utilized to locate the snipers via their own body heat . however if this were in fact the case there would be no such thing as snipers in modern times . so i ask here to the many technically knowledgeable individuals as i find myself slightly fearful of posting to a sniper forum w/ the possibly far-right wingers which may respond . so to be clear and precise "is modern infrared sensor/camera technology sufficient to locate a human lying prone covered w/ camouflage of various kinds and types in various weather day and night conditions ?" thank you kindly [update] Army's crazy new camouflage can defeat night vision, thermal | We Are The Mighty[^]

I believe it is. You can see heat signatures through walls with even consumer level gear. The best way to tell as always, is to test it. It's probably also the best bet for keeping you off of watchlists for asking the wrong questions on the wrong forums. :laugh:
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I would say it depends... there is technology for that yes, but in that field, I suppose that there is so much research to make detection tech (i.e. infrared) better, as there is to make deception tech (i.e. field clothes) better. (Just as the link you posted). At the end I think too, that it depends a lot on the skill of the implicated people. There will be people doing errors and there will be people using those errors.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yes but that doesn't mean it is unlimited. Rain really impacts those. You might want to also consider the limited field of view. If you are zoomed into the corner of the building the person you are seeking might be climbing into a truck around front to escape and you will not see that at all.

Thankfully, a kind soul on YouTube performed the research for me. No, you cannot detect moles in the ground with infrared! It may not have been military grade hardware.
actually it may be possible as infrared can be utilized to "see" through walls via the warming of the walls by the heat source behind . isn't that how the Iraqi tanks were destroyed by the Warthogs as they hid under the sand .
