ARGOS 8

Compact airborne electro-optical device

The challenge

For military, border patrol, maritime surveillance and law enforcement operations, commanders require real-time intelligence in areas of operational interest.

To detect, identify, track and geolocate objects of significance, you seek proven airborne reconnaissance, surveillance and targeting capabilities, providing successful operational effectiveness, even under challenging visibility conditions. Objects of interest may be static or moving, and whether the mission is force protection or law enforcement, you need seamless situational awareness and long-range target recognition under all weather conditions.

The solution you seek is a system that also offers thermal imaging and a laser for range-finding, designation, pointing and illumination purposes.

ARGOS 8

Our solution

The ARGOS-8 is an 8” class airborne electro optical system suitable for ISR (observation) and ISTAR (targeting) operations on typical group-2 and group-3 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The mechanically stabilized EOS is fitted with 3 sensors. Offering day and night operation for observation as well as target range finding and designation using the semi active laser designator. Various software functions such as video auto-tracker with correlation and scene tracking are standard. The integral INS provides accurate geo-location information of the targets.

The STANAG compliant meta-data inclusive video can be easily integrated with other mapping and command and control software, or used with the optional supplied mapping and mission software suite. Digital stabilisation for the video images is also available in ISR mode.
