SETAS

Electro-optical observation system for armoured vehicles

The challenge

Faced with potential threats such as snipers or RPGs, crew members need to stay secure under hatch while maintaining full, 360° visual situational awareness all around the vehicle.

They need a system that will deliver real-time, close-area observation to identify and track threats, exchange data with other on-board systems and deliver custom views to operators in the vehicle.

They need a system that offers views both day and night, with software algorithms that alert them to potentially threatening movements outside – including airborne threats or threats from urban canyons.

Our solution

Meet SETAS, the See Through Armour System. Day or night, SETAS ensures high-performance local-area observation for armoured vehicles. This system keeps users safely within the vehicle while equipping them with high situational awareness.

SETAS is ITAR-compliant, ruggedised and high-performance. Its visual sensors can recognise a person at distances of more than 300 m. Scalable individual, independent views of the surroundings let up to eight crew members virtually ‘see through’ the armour to focus on what they need to.

SETAS capabilities can be augmented with automatic image-processing features including Moving Target Indication (MTI) and object tracking. Modular and with open-interface architecture (NGVA-compliant), SETAS can be integrated into any vehicle and supports any HMI (standard or smart display, smart glasses, tablets, etc.).
