RE: Why did the USAF not persist with EO/IR sensors after the F-106 and TISEO equipped F-4s?
I'm making conjecture here, but I think the takeaway we got in SEA was to find and continuously track the bogies long before a EO/IR system would be useful. I think part of that was because we saw the big advantage the NV Air Force had over North Vietnam and Laos. Even today, most of our EO stuff is for Air to Ground work.
