Spot the target
A night-vision solution
specifically designed for stand-
off situations and where wide-
coverage air observation is
required, is proposed by Shilat
Optronics . The payload, mounted on a
conventional drone, is a cooled
thermal camera weighing 1.2kg
that provides human target
recognition at a distance of
approximately 5km. Such high-
quality aerial optic capabilities
make it ideal for use in situations
where a rapid response is required.
Miki Bouskila, vice president
of marketing, explained: “Since
the payload can achieve a line
of sight of up to 5km, without
having to actually be above
the event it is photographing,
it can be in the air for less time
– a huge advantage where the
amount of air time is limited from
the outset.”
