Integrated Radar/EO Surveillance System
IAI/Elta(Israel)
IAI Elta is
proposing a sensor platform based on radar and EO technologies.
Elta is currently offering an integrated mast mounted sensor
group, which is based on a lightweight, modular payload such as
the IAI/TAMAM POP-200, which can be fitted with a variety of
observation systems, including color CCD and a FLIR, which can
mount an x1.4 magnification lense, laser rangefinder/marker, an
EL/M-2129 ground surveillance radar and an electronic compass. The
system can operate independently or in a synchronized operation,
where the radar searches for targets over a wide scan sector and
points the EO
payload at suspicions targets.
The payload can be elevated on a high mast, to provide wider
coverage, or suspend under an aerostat at even higher altitudes.
The system is also deployed with RAFAEL's Stalker II system,
currently in IDF
service,
as well as for aerostat platforms. IAI/Ramta has also demonstrated an
elevated POP200 based mobile observation system designated
Giraffe, installed on the new IAI/Ramta RAM-2000 vehicle.
