Benefits of combined Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Electro-Optical (EO) Daylight Imaging

Advanced sensors allow operators to see through fog, haze, low light or even total darkness. By integrating MWIR and EO we create a robust and versatile system suitable for a wide range of operational scenarios.

Comprehensive Day/Night Coverage: Get high-resolution color imagery during daylight hours for positive visual identification, and use thermal imaging when subjects are obscured by darkness or haze. Combine the two for round-the clock capabilities.

Enhance Target Identification: EO and MWIR together allow positive target identification even in visibility-challenged environments.

Reduce False Alarms: Enhanced visual information reduces the opportunity for false threat identification.

Improved Situational Awareness: Dual-spectrum observation enhances overall situational awareness to allow better understanding of the environment, enabling faster, more informed decision-making.

Improved Target Tracking: Track heat signatures using MWIR cameras while analyzing detailed visual information via EO to monitor moving targets with improved accuracy and reliability.

Optimized Performance in Challenging Conditions: In fog, smoke, or low light conditions, MWIR bridges an essential gap in image clarity.

Increased Detection Range: MWIR cameras often have longer detection ranges compared to EO cameras, especially in low-light conditions.

Redundancy and Reliability: Combining MWIR and EO cameras provides redundancy, ensuring the overall reliability of the system.

Multi-Sensor Fusion: Image blending from IR and EO cameras allows for multi-sensor fusion, where the strengths of each sensor can be leveraged to provide a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the surveillance area.

Deterrence and Response: Quickly assess and respond to potential threats.

Optional Sensors include:

Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR): Allows for seeing through haze, fog, and dense smoke delivering clear imaging and visibility.

Spotter Scope: Makes detailed observation of distant objects or targets possible through high magnification optics.

Laser Rangefinder/Laser Pointer: Get instant, accurate distance-to-target measurements with the laser rangefinder and precise targeting with the laser pointer. The combination provides enhanced targeting and improved visibility contributing to better target acquisition.

Laser Illuminator: Provides effective illumination for improved visibility in low-light conditions and over long distances. The narrow beam control minimizes light spill and allows for enhanced night vision, sensor performance and target identification.

Aerial Wildfire Fighting

Combining the capabilities of aerial IR sensors and daylight cameras offers a comprehensive solution for wildfire monitoring, early detection, and management. The integration of these technologies supports more informed decision-making and improves the overall effectiveness of wildfire prevention and response efforts.

Fire Detection

Integrating sensor data with GIS allows for the creation of detailed maps that include thermal and visible information. This integrated approach enhances the effectiveness of wildfire prediction and response.

Fire Mapping

The combined IR and GPS system significantly enhance fire mapping capabilities by providing accurate, real-time data on fire location, intensity, and spread. This information is crucial for effective firefighting and resource management.

Post Event Analysis

Use the collected data as a resource to understand the fire’s behavior, identify areas prone to future incidents and improve predictive analysis.

 
 
 
 

Law Enforcement

By leveraging multi-spectral imaging in aerial applications, law enforcement can deploy a proactive and sophisticated approach to public safety, staying ahead of criminal activities and safeguarding communities with heightened precision and efficiency. The GSS S512 can penetrate atmospheric obscurants like smoke or fog, providing clear visibility and situational awareness during critical operations.

Suspect Targeting and Identification

MWIR and SWIR enable law enforcement to detect heat signatures and distinguish between objects, aiding in the identification and tracking of individuals.

Enhanced Surveillance Capabilities

The daylight camera provides clear visible imagery during daytime, enhancing overall situational awareness while the IR sensors are particularly useful during nighttime surveillance. They can detect heat sources including individuals, vehicles or other objects emitting infrared radiation.

Search and Rescue (SAR)

Survey vast landscapes and identify potential search areas efficiently. The use of our high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging, and other sensors allows for quick detection of heat signatures, movement, or specific objects on the ground. This technology can aid in spotting missing individuals, especially in challenging environments or low-light conditions.

Ensure Community Safety

Effectively monitor large areas efficiently with the ability to respond promptly to emerging threats.
