Commercial systems, compared against the catalogue
Buyers arrive with a name in mind — usually a finished instrument from a large defence supplier. These pages put that product's published figures next to the ERDI modules that do the same job, and say plainly what the public datasheet leaves out.

How to read these pages
Two rules. First, a range figure is only comparable to another range figure if the target, reflectance and visibility match — most public pages do not state them. Second, an instrument and an OEM module are different purchases: one you mount, the other you integrate.
How to read a competitor datasheet in five minutes
- Find the target. A range figure without target size, reflectance and visibility is not comparable to anything — including our own numbers.
- Instrument or module? A monocular includes optics, display and housing; a module does not, and neither the price nor the mass is comparable.
- Look for the interface. No external interface means it is a device you buy, not a component you build around.
- Check mass and temperature range. These decide whether it survives your platform, and they are the first things a marketing page drops.
- Ask for the protocol document before committing. Framing, checksum and error codes are where integrations die, and none of it is in a brochure.
