What specific applications does UV detectors have in military (military) applications?
And now some gas stations are using ultraviolet heat detectors to detect dangerous sources of heat. Infrared detectors are prone to cause false alarms because of too much heat.
Ultraviolet light is absorbed when entering the atmosphere, while infrared light passes through the atmosphere, so the infrared interference in the atmosphere is more serious, while the ultraviolet environment is relatively clean. So UV detector can detect heat source in strong infrared interference environment.
For example, it can be used to detect missiles or aircraft during the day. If you use infrared at this time, it will be affected by sunlight.
