very low-light conditions
Improved visibility through haze, fog & other
environmental obstacles
2x superior resolution vs. older image intensified technology
Greater than 10x MTBF (reliability) of image intensifier
Laser Illuminated CMCCD Night Spotter
Longest range subject ID (ship names, vehicles, faces)
in total darkness
Maximum atmospheric transmittance at 860 nm wavelength
Source & subject covert to the human eye
Improved Digital Infrared (IR) Camera
Fully digital IR image data
Newly incorporated 20 micron IR camera
- 20% increase in IR magnification & resolution
(pixels on target)
- 20% improvement in ID range of small targets
- 40% increase in reliability (MTBF)
MX-GEO Gen. 3
