Videos tagged with Passive Aiming

This video discusses the concept of 'passive aiming' in a tactical context, particularly relevant when adversaries possess similar advanced optics and sensors. It explains that passive aiming involves deliberately reducing one's own visual or infrared signature (e.g., by staying 'dark') to avoid detection, trading immediate clarity for the advantage of denying information to the opponent. The description emphasizes that this is a strategic choice, not a default mode, and active emissions are superior when speed, identification, or coordination are paramount. The core message revolves around intentionality: understanding the threat, their detection capabilities, and choosing the appropriate operational mode for force protection and mission success.
