The DSP1:

DSP1 Dual Sensor Stabilized Payload DSP1 is a compact, high resolution Day/Night observation system especially configured for use on helicopters, UAV's, light reconnaissance aircraft and marine patrol boats.

DSP1 is a four (4) gimbal gyro-stabilized system. DSP1 uses two camera channels: a 3rd gen FPA InSb detector Thermal Imaging channel with a unique continuous x22.5 zoom lens (option for x30) and a high resolution color CCD Daylight channel equipped with a x20 zoom lens.

DSP1's superior capabilities and very long acquisition ranges make it ideal for a wide variety of military, law enforcement agency and search and rescue (SAR) applications.

	Dual sensor Day/Night. High performance night channel using 3-5µm (InSb) FLIR and x 22.5 (option for x30) continuous zoom lens (NFOV: 1.2°x 0.9°). High performance daylight channel using colour CCD camera and x20 lens (NFOV: 1.4°x 1.0°). Fully stabilized in the lower hemisphere (including Nadir). Lightweight - 26 kg. Compact - 32 cm diameter. Low power consumption (110 Watt nom.).

Applications:

Day/Night Observation.
Search and Rescue (SAR).
Coastal and Border Patrol.
Anti-terrorist surveillance.
Anti-smuggling surveillance.
Oil Spill Detection.

The MSSP-1:

MSSP-1 Multi-Sensor Stabilized Payload MSSP-1 is a rugged Day/Night Surveillance system especially configured for use on attack helicopters.

MSSP-1 is a four (4) gimbal gyro-stabilized system.

MSSP-1 is equipped with three (3) sensors: a high resolution FLIR sensor, sensitive in the 8-12µm spectral range with a three FOV telescope, a high resolution CCD daylight channel equipped with a x15 zoom lens, and a Laser Range Finder (LRF).

Fishing Infringement Patrol.
Coastal and Border Patrol.
Water Pollution Patrol.

CEDAR:

The CEDAR is a highly sophisticated electro-optical panoramic Intruder Detection System which automatically detects motion in a wide panoramic view.

The CEDAR operation is completely passive. The system incorporates FLIR camera supplied by CONTROP. Alternatively, the customer's camera can be integrated.

The CEDAR has two modes of operation: * Panoramic scan mode for intruder detection. * Observation mode with live video for intruder recognition and identification. The scan sector can be selected in both, azimuth and elevation axes.

The CEDAR system is operated and controlled by a Control and Display Unit (CDU) which consists of a Personal Computer (PC) equipped with specific proprietary software. The wide Azimuth and Elevation dynamic range is provided by an accurate motorized Pan and Tilt Unit controlled by the CDU.

The CEDAR has an option to integrate an Eyesafe Laser Range Finder, for accurate target positioning and a daylight camera.

Main Features:

Day and night automatic intruder detection.
Panoramic wide scan and panoramic scene display.
Automatic, passive intruder detection in real time.
Multiple target detection.
Intruder recognition using zoom-in or NFOV observation.
Integrated with an Automatic Video Tracker (AVT).
Option for using Customer's FLIR sensors.
External PC interface RS232 for target's data communication (optional).
Digital recording to PC hard disc (optional).

Applications:

Security of High-value Sensitive Installations (such as Nuclear Power Generation Facilities, Armed Forces Facilities, Oil Refineries etc.).
Coastal Surveillance (against smuggling, illegal immigration etc.).
Border Surveillance (against smuggling, illegal immigration etc.).
Perimeter Surveillance.
Ground Troops Security.

FOX Thermal Imaging Cameras with Zoom Lenses:

The FOX Cameras are a family of thermal imaging cameras, each with an outstanding proprietary continuous optical Zoom Lens and special proprietary electronics that were developed by CONTROP.

The FOX Thermal Imaging Cameras were developed for observation and surveillance applications.

The FOX cameras can be used in the day and in the night, even in total darkness.

The FOX Thermal Imaging Cameras use a 3rd generation FPA sensor having 320x256 pixels and are highly sensitive in the 3 to 5 micron spectral band.

The FOX Thermal Imaging Cameras can be equipped with several zoom lenses with the focal length starting from 250mm up to 720mm.

The FOX Cameras are available as follows:

	NARROW FOV	WIDE FOV	ZOOM LENS
FOX 250 Z /ZE	2.2° x 1.7°	27° x 20.2°	x 12.5
FOX 450 Z /ZE	1.2° x 0.9°	27° x 20.2°	x 22.5
FOX 720 Z /ZE	0.76° x 0.57°	27° x 20.2°	x 36

The FOX Thermal Imaging Cameras are operated by an external Control Panel or by means of an RS422A Communication Channel.

The FOX Thermal Imaging Cameras' video can be seen on a remote video monitor.

The FOX Thermal Imaging Cameras can be supplied with an enclosure (ZE) or without an enclosure (for integration within the customer's enclosure).
