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 300 meters 75 meters 37 meters
Person 1055 meters 263 meters 131 meters
Vehicle 2555 meters 638 meters 319 meters

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