NFTI is no longer in use. What was it replaced with?

• A. TIC (Thermal Imagery Camera)
• B. FLIR
• C. Night Vision Device
• D. Infrared Viewer

Answer: (A)

NFTI was a night-vision thermal imaging system used for seeing heat signatures in low visibility. It was replaced by the Thermal Imaging Camera, abbreviated TIC. This term directly describes the device’s function in a clear, standardized way, reflecting updated sensors and modern design while keeping the same core capability of detecting heat. The other options don’t fit because FLIR is a brand name, not the official replacement designation; Night Vision Device is a broad category that implies image-intensified systems rather than thermal imaging specifically; Infrared Viewer is a generic label and not the Navy’s current designation. So the upgrade is to a Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC).
