Elbit Systems has unveiled its new Spectro XR (extra range) electro-optical payload.
According to the company, Spectro XR is an ultra-long range, day/night, multi-spectral electro-optical surveillance system that provides “20” payload performance in a 15” payload”.
The system can be installed on a variety of platforms, including rotorcraft, fixed-wing aircraft and aerostats, plus naval vessels and land systems.
The heart of the system is a large multi-spectral imaging system that combines multiple cameras into one, which improves performance without increasing size and weight, the company says.
Spectro XR integrates up to nine advanced and fully digital sensors – medium wavelength infrared, visible and near infrared, and shortwave infrared – and lasers with a high level of stabilisation, which allows it to perform in adverse weather conditions.
It is modular, and enables users to select the configuration best suited to their needs, both in performance and cost, Elbit says.
