CONTROP Precision Technologies Ltd. introduces new Short Wave Infra-Red (SWIR) and High-Definition (HD) Thermal Imaging (TI) capabilities for airborne and naval systems at the Singapore Airshow 2018.

According to Mr. Hagay Azani, CONTROP’s VP Marketing and Sales, “The issue of harsh environmental conditions and limited visibility at certain times of the day and night is critical for our customers. These new channels enable the highest observation capabilities 24/7 and in all weather conditions, including conditions typical of the tropical climate of the Asia Pacific region, which is characterized by high humidity, cloudiness and haze.”

All of the CONTROP iSea and iSky day/night camera payloads have an easy interface to radar and other mission systems for slewing the EO/IR camera to the detected target.
