===Electro-optics=== [[Image:F-15E LANTIRN IR HUD image.jpg|thumb|right|F-15E [[heads-up display]] of infrared image from LANTIRN.]] The basic [[Electro-optics|electro-optical]] (EO) sensor is essentially a [[video camera]], usually with a magnification lens, helping the aircrew to locate and identify targets. For night and adverse weather use, many EO sensors incorporate low-light light-amplification systems. Some pods supplement the basic visual EO with [[forward-looking infrared]] (FLIR) to aid in locating and identifying targets in darkness. Such systems are sometimes called [[infrared search and track]] sensors.
