New Class of Multispectral Electro-Optical Systems
Based on technologies derived from Elbit Systems' proven 15-inch class electro-optical systems, SPECTRO 12 combines high-resolution sensors across multiple spectral bands, precision targeting subsystems, advanced onboard processing and a fully digital single-LRU architecture.
The system delivers exceptional detection, recognition and identification (DRI) performance, enabling operators to identify and track targets at extended ranges while maintaining a compact footprint. SPECTRO 12 is optimized for integration on unmanned aerial systems (UAS), light helicopters, maritime platforms and tactical ground vehicles.
Its combination of large-aperture optics, integrated laser designator technology, AI-powered image processing and multispectral sensing provides reliable intelligence and targeting performance in complex operational environments, including degraded visibility and adverse weather conditions.
SPECTRO 12 introduces a new class of multispectral electro-optical systems that bridges the gap between compact payloads and larger strategic ISR systems.
