FLIR unveils ground-surveillance systems
FLIR Systems has released two new ground surveillance systems designed for border security and force protection, the company announced on 24 May.
The first is the LTV-X Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV), a rugged, tactical reconnaissance vehicle. The vehicle is fitted with surveillance systems including the TacFLIR 280-HD multispectral ISR turret and the Ranger R6SS Ground Surveillance Radar; and an onboard command and control system that enables full control, exploitation, and dissemination of real-time imagery and target tracking between deployed mobile and fixed assets. The vehicle can be transported inside a V-22 Osprey helicopter and offers near-silent operation when stationary.
The second system is the FLIR Ranger R6SS portable ground surveillance radar. The radar can detect and track personnel and vehicles within a 15km range, with advanced target detection, acquisition, and classification as well as clutter rejection. The system operates on X-band frequency for all-weather operation, and features advanced digital beam-forming and a high-speed refresh rate. The radar has built-in North-finding and GPS capabilities, and can be mounted on a vehicle or dismounted and carried for artillery and mortar fire correction.
Kevin Tucker, vice president and general manager, FLIR Surveillance, said: ‘The Ranger R6SS and LTV-X are FLIR’s latest innovations in support of mission-critical ground surveillance, force protection, and border security that leverage our unique commercially developed, military qualified model.
‘Both products are designed to maximise detection, responsiveness, and reliability in situations that demand the highest performance. We look forward to deploying these new products to the men and women who help keep borders around the world safe.’
