This paper reviews the operational experience with a combination infrared (IR)/video scanning system acquired by the Billings Area Office of the USDI Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1985. The system combines the capabilities of IR sensing with videotape recording and is designed to be mounted on a base affixed to the rear seat of a helicopter for aerial scanning purposes. A description of the system's components is recounted. Potential and actual applications/uses of the system are briefly described, including a discussion of implementation considerations and future developments.
