I have tried to find such a picture ..in vain (maybe because I am a civilian too ) but this should give you a idea of how the CIP works . The vehicle is a Canadian LAV, and the panel is a TIP (thermal Identification panel)...

I think Gary is after a picture of a CIP taken with an infrared or thermal imager so he can see how they actually prevent FF incidents.

Don't have a pic to show it, but they show up as a cold spot, while the rest of the vehicles shows up hotter. In white hot mode, it will be a black square. In black hot mode, it will be a white square.
