Bushbaby 100
Electro-optical systemThe challenge
A range of industries and organisations have a critical need for both ongoing and long-term surveillance, from security and police agencies to border control authorities and mining companies, from military forces to commercial vehicles operators.
This challenge requires a solution that is perfect for rapid deployment in tactical situations and easy to set up and operate by a small team. It should integrate seamlessly into a wide range of military and commercial vehicles to enhance surveillance capabilities in a variety of deployments, including portable, mobile and fixed installations.
It should also be compatible with a variety of mobile platforms – such as armoured vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, patrol vehicles and commercial vehicles – and provide flexibility and scalability to meet evolving mission requirements.
Our solution
In today’s defence and security landscape, the ideal surveillance solution should be advanced yet flexible for easy and agile deployment across a range of platforms.
The Bushbaby 100 by HENSOLDT is a compact, rugged, medium to long range multi-sensor system that provides stabilised surveillance and targeted geolocation for use in armoured vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, patrol vehicles and stationary applications.
With its lightweight, versatile design, the system can be adapted to applications ranging from man-portable tripods to mobile deployments and static installations.
Its rugged electro-optical system provides both day and night surveillance.
Its modular design allows for easy customisation and upgrades with additional sensors, planned integration with radar as well as AI, RF and signals intelligence, for a comprehensive system solution.
