The Fusion Vision System is a helmet-mounted, hands-free thermal imaging system designed for firefighter situational awareness in low-visibility environments. It supports decision-making and safety during fireground operations while keeping both hands available for critical tasks.
In addition to on-person awareness, the Fusion Vision System with integrated Fire Operation System - F.O.S™ combines hands-free thermal imaging with wireless connectivity to support command-level visibility when required.

Visibility
Visibility is limited when it matters most
Firefighters routinely operate in environments where visibility is severely compromised by smoke, heat, and structural complexity. In these conditions, maintaining situational awareness is critical, yet difficult, especially when hands are already occupied with tools, hose lines, search techniques, or victim removal.Traditional handheld thermal cameras provide valuable information, but they require active use and focused attention. This can create trade-offs between maintaining awareness and performing essential tasks during an incident.
Thermal Awareness
Hands-free thermal awareness for fireground operations
The Fusion Vision System addresses this challenge by providing continuous, hands-free thermal visibility through a helmet-mounted display. By integrating directly into existing PPE, the system allows firefighters to access thermal information naturally without interrupting movement or workflow.Thermal awareness becomes part of how firefighters see and navigate the environment rather than a separate action that must be managed during high-stress operations.
Fireground Use

Fireground Use
Connected awareness beyond the wearer
The Fusion Vision System is designed not only as a wearable device, but as a connected system that can extend situational awareness beyond the individual firefighter.Integrated wireless connectivity allows the system to function as a data hub, enabling thermal video and sensor information captured in the field to be shared with command and support teams when appropriate.Using built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the Fusion Vision System can stream real-time thermal video and data from connected Bluetooth sensors to a Longan Vision command post - F.O.S Feet or 3rd party monitoring system via Longan Vision Cloud Service - F.O.S™ CS
Connected capabilities
- Wireless streaming of thermal video to F.O.S.™ Feet command or support locations
- Integration with Bluetooth-enabled sensors for environmental or physiological data
- Supports shared situational awareness between interior crews and command staff
- Enables data capture for incident review, training, and post-incident analysis
These capabilities allow departments to evaluate how real-time fireground information can support command decisions, coordination, and safety oversight.
