Brochure

Digital compact multi-purpose advanced stabilized system

DCoMPASS comprises a single LRU configuration integrating five electro-optic elements:

  • HD color TV camera with optional low light mode
  • Large format thermal imager
  • Laser target illuminator
  • Eye safe laser rangefinder
  • Laser target designator

The small, lightweight payload features innovative miniature digital electronics and advanced lightweight materials. The system is suitable for border and maritime control, surveillance, law enforcement and laser targeting application.
The battle proven DCoMPASS is in operational use worldwide and was selected for the prestigious "Watchkeeper" program.
