Top-i Vision Tactical Aerostat System mounting with Lev 4 Stabilized Payload. Photo: Noam Eshel, Defense-UpdateTop-I Vision, aerostat, UAV and EO payload providers have shown here their newest stabilized, dual-sensor payload Lev-6 Z. The payload was demonstrated in operational use, suspended from the Top-I Vision aerostat, deployed outside the exhibit hall. Lev 6 Z is a lightweight system stabilized by two gimbals. The payload uses separate day and night channels, both fitted with continuous zoom. The company has already began working on the integration of a laser target marker into this EO payload.

(Ret) Avi Peer, CEO at Thermal Beacon, displays the company's new dual-band, covert thermal marker, facilitating effective identification, marking and signalling between forces employing I2, low-light TV and thermal imagers covering NIR, LWIR and MWIR (3-12 micron) wavebands. The system has recently entered operational service with military customers. Photo: Tamir Eshel Defense Update.Thermal Beacon also unveiled two new Venom I line of laser markers, infra-red pointer/illuminator mounted on light weapons. The Venom-I emits power levels of 200mw, while the larger IR pointer emits 1.2 watt. By opening beam divergence the the narrow focused beam of the pointer can be turned into an illuminating light source. The low power device is used at short range, typically indoors while the more powerful one is used over extended ranges of 200 - 1000 meters outdoors. The high power level of the outdoor device require users to follow strict safety rules to prevent eye damage, yet the operational benefits are clear, given independence of supporting units (for illumination), employment of covert means, stand-off operation, high intensity illumination over large area, etc. Photo: Tamir Eshel, defense UpdateMilitary DVR of the Goldtech Group displayed two versions of portable digital video recorders, one fitted with an integral display, the other, packing 64 gigabyte storage volume (enough for recording 32 hour of continuous high quality video) and batteries sustaining an eight hour mission. The system has an integral store and replay displaying the stored video on auxiliary peripheral device. Photo: Tamir EshelESC BAZ Night Vision And Thermal Electro Optics Devices.
