Specifications:
The camera systems are designed to operate within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C and at altitudes up to 50,000 ft (116 mbar). They can withstand humidity cycles between 95% at 65°C and 85% at 38°C for 16 hours. The systems are resistant to EMI emissions from 10 kHz to 6 GHz and susceptibility from 100 MHz to 6 GHz. They can endure lightning indirect effects up to 1600 V / 107 A, shocks of 40 g / 10 ms, and vibrations of 6 grms from 5-2000 Hz. A de-icing system with sapphire glass is included.
