Eurosatory: Noptel launches new modules

Noptel has expanded its range of long distance rangefinders, with new modules launched at Eurosatory.

According to the company, the small size open modules have been adopted by several system integrators for new projects and products, with negotiations actively ongoing.

Noptel rangefinders exploit laser pulse flight time measurement technology, special cumulative measurement method and advanced signal processing techniques. By using this cumulative measurement method Noptel can exploit standard diode lasers and eye safe technology, achieving a range of several kilometres with good measuring reliability. 

Noptel first used the cumulative measurement technology for rangefinders in a project with FN Herstal, for the development of the FN fire control unit (FCU). This technology is now being used in Noptel LRF modules. The family of LRF modules comprises units from small 20gm unit up to 500gm high performance unit. Typical measurement range for the smallest units is 1-3km and for the high performance units 5-10km. 

Typical applications for these modules are systems for thermal imaging, forward observation, surveillance, weapon sights, targeting, fire control and reconnaissance. The modules have been designed to operate as an OEM part of the complete system controlled by the master unit. The modular structure of the modules allows mechanical restructuring of the unit, when necessary, to meet the needs of space-limited units.
