When a buyer asks, “How far can this EO/IR system see?”, the answer is usually too vague to be useful. The real question is more specific: how far can it detect, how far can it recognize, and how far can it identify?

That is what DRI criteria change. They turn one loose range claim into three distinct visual tasks. Once that happens, field of view, focal length, stabilization, target size assumptions, and even the role of the sensor inside the wider system all need to be re-examined.
