1.2 Applications
The Ranger HRC MS system is used in applications such as force protec-
tion, border surveillance, tactical reconnaissance, training range, xed
and mobile security, target tracking and long-range surveillance.
Ranger HRC MS is designed to meet the needs of the operator. The sys-
tem offers the following operator benets:
Advanced and high performance thermal imaging enables situational
awareness in the wide eld-of-view, while maintaining detailed recog-
nition capabilities in the narrow eld-of-view.
By seeing further and being able to recognizing more details, the
operator can react quickly to security threats.
As opposed to systems with a rotating lens system, there is no switch-
ing or swapping between the different images. The operator can
gradually zoom in on a target, while keeping his focus all the time.
The accurate and fast pan and tilt mechanism allows for easy
tracking and following of fast moving objects.
Repeatable position feedback and both fast and slow slew rates gives
the operator full control also at maximal zoom.
If connected to a radar system, Ranger HRC MS can automatically
turn to a detected object. The visual image allows the operator to
instantly see what the blip on the radar screen really means.
The Ranger HRC MS can be congured for eld transport and fast
deployment. A single operator can set up the system in minutes,
making it ideal for mobile operations and quick deployments.
