To calculate the overall weight of the CamSight HD with the lens, a mechanical interface (lens – core) must be added.
Total system weight depends on the lens and is about 30 grams.
Applications of CamSight HD
Uncrewed ISR Systems
CamSight HD provides effective thermal vision in critical operational conditions. It is well-suited for missions requiring minimal SWaP and excellent spatial sampling. Its uncooled and shutterless sensor technology ensures effective day and night thermal vision for continuous surveillance. By equipping military autonomous vehicles with a payload integrating CamSight HD, armed forces enhance their ability to conduct strategic operations with precision target acquisition, and (ISR) surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance missions. CamSight HD enables detection of vehicles from up to 8.9km.
Driver Vision Enhancement
Driver Vision Enhancement (DVE) systems are crucial for military vehicles operating under diverse and challenging visibility conditions. DVE allows vehicle operation from under armor, or remotely while avoiding obstacles, detecting threats, and ensuring mission success. CamSight HD modules provide superior day and night thermal vision, enhancing situational awareness and operational efficiency in all environments, including complete darkness, smoke, or fog. Thanks to its rugged uncooled, shutterless design and compact footprint, CamSight HD integrates easily into a wide range of vehicle platforms, delivering real-time imaging without interruption or calibration delays.
Gun & Weapon Manufacturers
CamSight HD enhances target engagement capabilities in advanced weapon systems. Its compact rugged, lightweight design and shutterless thermal technology make it ideal for integration into electro-optical sights and fire control systems. With high-definition thermal imaging and rapid start-up, CamSight ensures accurate target detection, identification, and tracking — day or night — in any environment. Weapon systems gain a robust, field-proven thermal solution for increased lethality and operational effectiveness.
