Isn't the definition too narrow?[edit]

EOTS is defined as "An electro-optical targeting system (EOTS), is a system employed to track and locate targets in aerial warfare.[1] It can use charge-coupled device TV cameras, laser rangefinders and laser designators." Isn't this definition too narrow since aren't IR imaging cameras also electro-optical devices?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.65.59 (talk • contribs)

Electro optical (optronical) refers to a "sensor" working with photons and electrodes. IR-imaging alone is not a sensor, but it can be part of a sensor.--Blockhaj (talk) 06:28, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

This may be just one Wikipedian's opinion, but it seems hilarious to me that the notability of an entire type of military aviation subsystem is being challenged. To me that just screams, "well I've never heard of this, and I don't know how to use Google." No offence. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 00:47, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
