Here is a company that makes them under an agreement with FLIR Systems - http://www.chinazybron.com/. The ITAR restrictions on IR imagers are widely acknowledged to be technologically obsolete. They are still in place only for political reasons.<br /><br />Here is the Federal Register link to the proposed rule change (from 2010) that would include changing thermal sensor classification - https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2010/12/10/2010-30994/revisions-to-the-united-states-munitions-list. <br /><br />Maybe one day the regulations will catch up with reality.Dave Gilblomhttp://www.alt-vision.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-68708263849391018632012-07-21T23:34:46.581+03:002012-07-21T23:34:46.581+03:00Yes Eric, it is a strange world we are living in. ...Yes Eric, it is a strange world we are living in. But I can give you also examples the other way around, in which the USA is much more "liberal" than the Europeans. <br />We are still trying to unify Europe, but not really that successful yet. Maybe after that, we can try to unify the world, but I guess that you and I will not experience this.
