DRI Ranges

DRI stands for Detection, Recognition and Identification and is based on the widely used Johnson's criteria.

  • Detection Detect if an object is present
  • Recognition See what type of object it is (i.e. person, vehicle, airplane)
  • Identification For example see if someone is a friend or foe
Detection Recognition Identification
Rabbit 270 meters 67 meters 33 meters
Person 950 meters 237 meters 118 meters
Vehicle 2300 meters 575 meters 287 meters

Please note that these values are calculated, always consult the manufacturer for official range numbers.
