Argos

 

payload

The Argos family provides targeting sight solutions for airborne, land system and maritime applications. Typical Argos helicopter-mounted targeting sights are designed for aerial surveillance, search and detection, target recognition and target engagement. Provides control logic and interfaces to slave-turreted cannons, integrates with rocket launchers and missiles (target designation or missile guidance) and assists in bombing missions. Various ARINC and 1553B interface options are available.

Scout

helmet

The Scout system combines Helmet-mounted Display and Observation Systems' expertise to provide a unique cueing and observation system for application in the police, civil, and search-and-rescue markets.

The Scout helmet cueing system utilizes our military experience and optical helmet tracker technology to provide a cost-effective cueing system for the commercial market.

The system cues a helicopter observation system directly towards an area of interest providing immediate acquisition and tracking of any moving or stationary item, thereby significantly reducing the observer's workload and acquisition time.

Archer Fixed Wing

helmet

The fixed-wing range provides visor-projected displays and optical line-of-sight measurements. This enables the user to aim weapons and cue sensors by simply looking at the target. The ARCHER Fixed-wing (HMDS) consists of the following items:

  • The Helmet: The fixed-wing range of helmets allows for the use of 2 outer helmets on a single common inner helmet. The outer helmets provide the following functionality:
    -Helmet-mounted Sight (HMS), providing a fixed-legend display
    - Helmet-mounted Display and Sight (HMDS), providing a dynamic display of weapon, navigation, aircraft and flight information.
  • The optical helmet tracker
  • The electronic unit

Archer Rotary Wing

helmet

The rotary-wing range provides visor-projected displays as well as night vision enhancement by using night vision goggles or night vision cameras to provide identical day and night display capability. Turreted weapons and sensors are therefore slaved to the user's line of sight, while the display enables the user to constantly look outside the cockpit.


The ARCHER Rotary-wing (HMDS) system consists of the following items:

  • The Helmet: The rotary-wing range of helmets all make use of the common inner helmet. The outer helmets provide the following functionality:
    -Helmet-mounted Sight (HMS), providing a fixed-legend display
    - Helmet-mounted Display and Sight (HMDS), providing a dynamic display of weapon, navigation, aircraft and flight information.
    - Night Vision Display System (NVDS) providing for clip-on night vision goggles and full symbology displays
    - Binocular HMDS providing a fully integrated day-night helmet with full dynamic display capability
  • The helmet tracker
  • The electronic unit

Noctua (piloting FLIR)

helmet

The Noctua pilot night vision system comprises of the Binocular HMDS and a piloting FLIR, thus enabling the pilot to fly low-level nap-of-the-earth missions in total darkness.

The high slew rate of the piloting FLIR has been designed specifically to keep up with the pilot's head movement. Using an extremely sensitive 8 - 12µm FLIR, it provides a fully enhanced night vision image for display.

Kenis IIR Camera

electro-optic

KENIS, the Kentron Imaging Infra-red (IIR) camera, is a high-performance, state-of-the-art thermal imager, using a 384 by 288 CMT focal plane array. The IIR camera employs microscanning to enhance the resolution fourfold. The stand-alone infra-red camera provides high-quality thermal images in the 3 - 5 um spectral band and is ideal for long-range imaging in hot and humid conditions, and also in colder climates. Kenis was originally developed for stand-off weapon target acquisition and terminal guidance, but has proved to be ideally suited for surveillance and navigation applications in aerial, naval and ground forces application.
