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 benets:
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 congured 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.
