Description
Lightweight Balloon / Aerostat Observation Payload System
The SPEED-A was specially designed for Aerostat applications and Aerostat constraints.The SPEED-A gyro?stabilization is in all three axes Pitch, Yaw, and Roll, and the mechanical structure is very low weight to reduce the total weight to a minimum.
The SPEED-A system is a tactical, lightweight, balloon mounted, portable EO/IR, area monitoring and intruder detection system with real-time, electro-optical, stabilized detection characteristics.
The SPEED-A system incorporates a Thermal Imaging (TI) Camera with a Continuous Zoom Lens, a Color Daylight TV Camera, Eyesafe Laser Rangefinder and Laser Pointer.
The SPEED-A has an Observation Mode with live video for intruder recognition, identification and tracking.
The SPEED-A system is operated and controlled by a Control and Display Unit (CDU) with an intuitive Graphic User Interface.
The CDU is available in two options:
- Ruggedized CDU - for mobile and field applications
- Commercial PC CDU - for use in climate controlled room
Built in automatic target tracker and image enhancement algorithms.
MAIN FEATURES
- Specially designed for Aerostat applications and for Aerostat constraints
- Stabilization: Pitch, Yaw, and Roll (all 3 axes) unique capability especially for Aerostats
- Wide area monitoring and long range intruder detection
- Light weight with long range EO capabilities
- Sensors:
- Thermal Imaging (TI) camera with 600 mm Continuous Optical Zoom Lens
- Day TV CCD with 300 mm Continuous Optical Zoom Lens
- Laser Range Finder for target position (coordinates)
- Laser Pointer for marking targets
- In operational use since 2008
- 24/7 hour missions
- Image enhancement for low visibility conditions
- Local AGC
- Tracker
APPLICATIONS
- Persistant Surveillance
- Intruder Detection
- Force Protection
- Border Surveillance
- Infrastructure Observation
- Anti-terrorist Surveillance
- Anti-smuggling Surveillance
- Oil Spill Detection
- Oil Pipeline Patrol
