Lockheed Martin introduces new flexible ISR sensor
Lockheed Martin has announced a new addition to its ISR sensor portfolio with the introduction of INFIRNO, a high definition 15-inch sensor system developed with modular components that can be removed and replaced in the field for maximum flexibility.
Lockheed Martin has developed the system through internal investment to meet changing mission requirements and reduce operation and maintenance costs. Users can upgrade system components and perform field maintenance without removing the sensor from the vehicle, aircraft or vessel on which it is installed, reducing the need to transport entire systems to offsite locations for technology upgrades or repair and keeps critical mission capability in the hands of the warfighter.
A turret-mounted system with high performing optical sensors, INFIRNO enables users to identify, track and engage multiple targets at long range and conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
Dana Rocca, turreted systems program director, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, said: ‘We developed INFIRNO to meet the evolving operational needs of our customers. The system's nine line replaceable units allow our customers to reduce overall life cycle cost and improve operational readiness and mission capability as new technology becomes available.’
The system builds on existing Lockheed Martin electro-optical infrared sensor technology such as the US Army's Apache targeting and pilotage sensor (M-TADS/PNVS), the US Air Force's Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod and the US Marine Corps' AH-1Z Target Sight System.
