KATE-LR is Long Range Thermal Imager for Weapon Stations and Turrets

Kate-LR is a full multifunction version of Catherine-WS thanks to an add-on pack including an eye-safe Laser Range Finder, TV channels, laser pointers and a GPS.

APPLICATIONS

  • Remote Controlled Weapon Stations (RCWS)

  • Above armour gunner sights

  • Land Recce

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • “All-in-one” fully integrated sensor pack for easy vehicle integration and maintenance offering:

  • MWIR high performance sensor

  • High resolution colour and NIR TV

  • Eye-safe Laser Range Finder

  • Laser pointers

  • GPS

  • Cooled IR technology allows to increase the range over what is accessible to uncooled technology while maintaining small optics to avoid breakages and repair costs. Moreover, better sensitivity of cooled technology will offer better range performance under adverse atmospheric conditions.

  • Continuous optical zoom allows optimized resolution to optimize resolution on the observed scene, reducing target acquisition time.
