DCoMPASS is the industry’s first EO system that is a fully Digital Compact Multi-Purpose Advanced Stabilized System, proven to deliver superb day and night ISTAR capabilities in the harshest weather conditions. The system comprises a single LRU configuration integrating five EO elements: an HD color TV camera with optional low light mode, a large format thermal imager, a laser target illuminator, an eyesafe laser rangefinder and a laser target designator. Small payloads are made possible by innovative miniature digital electronics and advanced lightweight materials.
Spectro XR is a day/night, ultra long-range multi-spectral electro-optical ISTAR solution that provides 20” payload performance in a 15” payload. The heart of the system is a multi-spectral imaging system that combines multiple optical channels into one and improves performance without increasing size and weight. SPECTRO XR is equipped with a wide variety of digital imaging, high definition sensors and advanced lasers - all with very high levels of stabilization. SPECTRO XR exhibits high performance at day, night and adverse weather conditions, and is suitable for land, naval, fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms.
AMPS is an Advanced Multi-sensor Payload System that serves as a dynamic target detection and recognition payload for strategic ISR and ISTAR at standoff ranges. A highly stabilized EO payload, AMPS delivers excellent day and night ISTAR capabilities, facilitated by autonomous navigation with an inertial system and GPS.
