Abstract
This paper describes a novel design of a 1:30 zoom FLIR in the MWIR. Special emphasis is spent on the design considerations of such a FLIR and on the specific challenges associated with the design of a high zoom ratio FLIR. The problems and their solutions are discussed through out the paper and quantitative results are tested.
