FLIR Ocean Scout Pro – Handheld Marine Thermal Monocular
The FLIR Ocean Scout Pro is a handheld thermal imaging monocular designed to give crews clear visibility in night, haze and low‑light conditions. It provides instant thermal awareness for navigation, lookout and general on‑water safety, supporting crew during docking, boarding, search operations or man‑overboard incidents.
Recognised in the DAME Design Awards, the Ocean Scout Pro combines practical ergonomics with reliable thermal performance, making it a trusted tool for commercial crews, government agencies and first responders.
