Spotlite-N is an advanced electro-optic systems for weapon fire sources Detection Location Classification & Tracking applications. The system incorporates state of the art fully operational day & night passive sensors for Multiple fire sources threats detection. Additional sensors, capabilities and applications can be added as advanced options.

The Spotlite-N is an advanced multi sensor, multi purpose, image stabilized electro-optical system. The system is fielded on many different platforms for various applications.
Spotlite-N incorporates the sensors and the electronic section including the advanced Multi algorithms/processing computer.

Spotlite-N is a perfect solution for detection of fire sources aimed against small vessels which operates at ranges higher than the effective weapon range. The Spotlite-N operation enables the vessel to perform self defence and reaction procedures.

Spotlite-N Infra Red sensor provides the ability to operate in naval environment overcoming sea clatter and harsh weather conditions. The SPOTLITE N detects passively variety of threats and supports Emission Control (EMCON) operation.

The Spotlite-N System comprised of an advanced digital FLIR, main computer for signal & image processing and HMI. The Spotlite-N has day and night functioning capability. The prime mission of the system is to provide the crew with the capability to Detect, Locate, Classify & Track fire sources like: Small arms, rockets, missiles, ATGMS, shells ect. The Spotlite-N cooperates with other maritime systems e.g. C4I, weapon system with the ability of designating or slaving as advanced options.

The Spotlite-N installation is simple and flexible and can easily be adapted to various vessels.

The Spotlite-N design is suitable for maritime platforms, hence withstands the most demanding naval MIL Spec requirements.

The Spotlite-N can be integrated to variety of systems onboard a vessel e.g. self defence systems, electro-optics payload, gun firing control system.

The Spotlite-N is a fully automatic detection system with close to zero human interventions as expected from small vessels operational systems.

The Spotlite-N can be integrated to other systems providing real-time data via different types of data links to other users, such as any C4I centers, Combat Management System, EW system, Radar etc. For defense purposes the Spotlite N can slave and direct weapon and other systems (guns, missiles, EO payloads, Radars etc).
