Raven Eye II family of EOIR payloads is developed under collaboration between Northrop Grumman and IAI/TAMAM. These systems are based on TAMAM’s Multi-mission Optronics Stabilized Payload (MOSP). Raven Eye is offered in a triple sensor configuration, with two day channels (ColorCCD+FLIR) and a single night channel (high performance FLIR with microscan) as well as laser designator/rangefinder or rangefinder and pointer. Raven Eye offers very high line-of-sight stabilization performance (less than 15microRadian). It can be manually controlled by the operator, via datalink or automatically, slaved to the navigation system or radar for fast cooperative targeting. The system is equipped with video automatic target tracker.
