Attention:
Operation of the SPTA requires experienced personnel on board the aircraft.
Summary
KT19.85II is a remote-sensing thermometer used to determine the temperature of a surface from the distance by measuring the amount of thermal radiation emitted from the surface. KT19.85II is operates in the spectral range of 9.6 - 11.5 µm. Data are stored within the DMS framework on ADA-C1.
