High Definition Optronic Payloads for HLS Missions
High definition (HD) optronic payloads have become a must in every system aimed at protecting vital installations. The need to see details in order to detect and moreover identify and “incriminate, “has created the operational demand.
The Tamam division of Israel aerospace industries (IAI) has developed a line of HD optronic payloads that make the life of HLS project much easier.
i-HLS was recently briefed on the new line of HD payloads.
The MOSP3000-HD and the POP300D-HD use a 1280 x 1024 detector for the thermal camera and a 1920 x 1080 detector for the day camera.
Tamam also introduced the new MiniPOP-HD using a 1920 x 1080 detector for the day camera.
The company says that the new systems also include advanced video image processing and compression features that enable the FHDTV to be adapted to any downlink system.
MOSP3000-HD is a 31 kg, one-LRU multi-sensor highly-stabilized EO/IR payload equipped with a Full High Definition 1920 x 1080 detector for the color day camera (FHDTV), a High Definition 1280 x 1024 detector for the thermal camera with a x30 optical zoom and an option for laser designation, laser rangefinder and laser pointer.
POP300D-HD is a 20 kg, one-LRU multi-sensor stabilized EO/IR payload equipped with a Full High Definition 1920 x 1080 detector for the color day camera (FHDTV), a High Definition 1280 x 1024 detector for the thermal camera and laser designation, laser rangefinder and laser pointer.
MiniPOP-HD is a 6.5-9 kg (configuration dependent) compact, one-LRU multi-sensor stabilized EO/IR payload equipped with a Full High Definition 1920 x 1080 detector for the color day camera (FHDTV), a 640 x 480 thermal camera, and an option for laser rangefinder, laser pointer and laser designator.
The use of HD in the real-time intelligence gathering in HLS is no less than a revolution. The blurred outside world thaw a seen on the screens of security forces is history.
In most cases they now get a very sharp image that allows the commander to see the finest details in the “area of interest”.
The combat scenery has become high definition and the developers say that they have some more “quantum leaps” in their labs.
