Marinized Multi-Sensor Systems

Product catalog summary

Overview: General Dynamics' Marinized Multi-Sensor Systems are robust, stabilized electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) camera systems designed for challenging maritime environments. These systems enhance situational awareness and improve response time and maneuverability in various conditions, including day or night and rough seas.

Specifications: The systems offer a range of single or dual-field-of-view infrared sensor options and a continuous 26X zoom electro-optical camera. They feature a Vector-20 pan-tilt system with auto, manual, and coxswain gyro-stabilization modes. The housing is dry-nitrogen pressurized and meets IP67 standards for harsh environments.

Whether day or night, in rough seas or congested harbors, these systems deliver increased situational awareness and improve response time and maneuverability. The systems are available with a wide range of single- or dual-field-of-view infrared sensor options to meet a variety of mission needs. The electro-optical camera is available as a single-field-of-view matched to the infrared sensor or with a continuous 26X zoom. To deliver stable, precise imagery in rough seas and at high speeds, the integrated Vector-20 pan-tilt system provides auto, manual and coxswain gyro-stabilization modes. The Marinized Multi-Sensor Systems’ drynitrogen pressurized housing meets IP67 standards to ensure performance in harsh maritime environments. The multi-sensor systems and in-dash controls are ready out of the box and easily integrated onto any vessel.
