Innovative solutions for Homeland Security and Defense requirements are provided by the state-of-the-art Electro Optics surveillance and reconnaissance systems that are being displayed by CONTROP Precision Technologies Ltd in the UAV Pavilion Booth A402G at this year’s Asian Aerospace 2004.
First-hand experience in the “war against terrorism” and many years of field proven operational experience, place CONTROP as a world leader in airborne, ground and maritime surveillance and intruder detection solutions. “Turning Vision into Reality” is the motto behind all of CONTROP’s products, which are designed to reduce the barriers of distance by day and by night. Bringing things closer into sight is the first step in dealing with potential threats.
CONTROP Precision Technologies LTD. is exhibiting an operating Dual Sensor Stabilized Payload DSP-1, in the UAV Pavilion booth A402G at the Asian Aerospace 2004.
DSP-1 Dual Sensor Stabilized Payload
DSP-1 is a high resolution, high performance Dual Sensor Stabilized Payload. DSP-1 is a compact lightweight Day/Night observation system especially configured for use on UAV’s, light reconnaissance aircraft, and helicopters, as well as marine patrol boats. DSP-1 is a four-gimbal system, gyro-stabilized in azimuth and elevation, allowing the EO Sensors’ lines of sight to be aimed and maintained stabilized. The system uses two camera channels: InSb detector Thermal Imaging channel with continuous x22.5 zoom lens and a high resolution color CCD Daylight channel with a x20 zoom lens. The DSP-1 is easily integrated onto a wide variety of carrying vehicles through a flexible configuration suitable to any specific application.
Visitors to the CONTROP booth A402G can operate the dual sensor payload using the control unit joystick with a hands-on approach to give the user full control of the camera’s variety of options. Displayed in an elegant console, this stand at the Asian Aerospace 2004 is expected to attract hundreds of passers-by, as they stop at the CONTROP booth in the UAV Pavilion to view the operating DSP System’s expertise as it scans the aisles and displays people as they proceed from booth to booth.
The DSP-1 superior capabilities and very long acquisition ranges make it ideal for a wide variety of airborne and maritime applications by military, law enforcement agency, and search and rescue (SAR) teams. As a stablized optronic payload system, the DSP’s Thermal Imaging Camera can operate from a variety of airborne and maritime platforms for day/night observation, search and rescue, coastal and border patrol, anti-terrorist surveillance, anti-smuggling surveillance and oil spill detection.
CEDAR Compact Electro-Optical Intruder Detection System
CEDAR is a highly sophisticated Electro-optical Day/Night Automatic Panoramic Intruder Detection System, which automatically detects motion in a wide panoramic view in real time. The CEDAR is part of a “family” of unique Automatic Intruder Detection Systems providing solutions for ground, air and maritime security. Each of the systems in this series creates a “virtual fence”, offering innovative automatic and passive intruder detection solutions where most required. These state-of-the-art systems serve as passive Electro-optical “imaging radar”, scanning a designated area, and providing protection for a wide range of security and surveillance applications. CONTROP’s systems have unique modes of operations that include Scan Mode for intruder detection and Observation Mode for intruder recognition and identification. One of the many ideal applications for these systems is the security of sensitive facilities including airports, power plants, fuel storage depots, oil refineries, water reservoirs etc.
