It is distinguished by a wide variety of interfaces, enabling integration with various aircraft/helicopter systems, such as mission computer, fire control, radar, GPS, data downlink and helmet-mounted tracking systems. Its small dimensions, low weight, high level of stabilisation and coverage angles make it an optimal choice for long-range, day-and-night surveillance, target tracking, etc.
CoMPASS is the most advanced payload version of its family, featuring reduced weight, high degree of modularity and flexibility, spacesaving packaging and advanced operational and video processing features. CoMPASS has been nominated for 56 naval utility helicopter programme of the Indian Navy.
BEL has recently completed transfer of technology for indigenous production of CoMPASS in India. BEL will provide Indian users with local production and maintenance support. CoMPASS was already selected and installed in the Indian Army Aviation and Air Force versions of advanced light helicopter of HAL.
