At Eurosatory, FLIR Systems launched integrated systems products Cerberus MX, an allterrain vehicle-based long range detection system and the Ranger HDC, a high definition, internally cooled, long range thermal imaging system.

Explaining the features of the two new products, James Pinsky, Public Relations Manager, Detection & Protection, FLIR Systems, said “These products are highly suitable for Indian requirements, considering that you have long borders, extensive coastline, all of which need surveillance of the highest order.”

Cerberus MX, he explained, is designed for use by security professionals as it is a self-contained mobile integrated surveillance system for rugged environments. This ATV solution hosts on-board integrated surveillance, communications and power systems. The Cerberus MX is compatible with FLIR ground surveillance radar, C2 systems, EO/IR and overwater radar sensors. Security professionals now have the ability to detect, assess and respond to a threat with this advancement in ATV surveillance.

The Ranger HDC is a long-range sensor which allows the operator to maintain situational awareness in wide field of view and zoom in for target assessment without losing sight of the target at any time. The 1280 x 720 imagery allows for twice as much wide-area coverage, at any distance, compared to a legacy 640 x 480 system. This technological advancement is viewable on a 16:9 wide screen monitor that shows more of the important part of the scene.

Pinsky said these products would be aggressively marketed in India due to the geographical features of the country and also because of the huge requirement. “What we do is imagery and we can put it on anything. The Cerberus which allows you to see thermo images up to 6 km. It is compatible with any vehicle and has a wide range of versatility with sight. It offers amazing surveillance capabilities which India needs badly.”
