En la Exposición de Defensa DX Korea 2016, Controp presentó su nuevo TWISTER, Sistema Automático Ligero Portátil de Detección de Intrusos. Su sistema de IR pasivo y exploración panorámica de 360⁰ detecta automáticamente las amenazas potenciales en tiempo real. Puede ser montado en un trípode y operado en forma local con una Laptop o remotamente por Ethernet o comunicaciones de RF. Debido a su bajo peso, es ideal para operaciones de despliegues rápido, proporcionando protección a la fuerza.
CONTROP Precision Technologies Ltd. will display the new TWISTER, a wide area automatic intruder detection system, at DX Korea 2016. The lightweight and portable TWISTER is suited for fast deployment by mobile forces, providing force protection as well as persistent surveillance and border protection. The 360⁰ panoramic scanning system automatically detects potential threats in real-time.
The TWISTER is a passive IR system providing a panoramic 360⁰ image and automatic moving target detection at a high rate (1Hz). Using advanced algorithms, the TWISTER detects moving humans and moving NATO targets at several kilometers distance. Each “detection” saves a “track file” to which the operator can refer and investigate in real-time, while the system continues to operate and scan the designated area.
The lightweight portable system – operated locally from a laptop, or remotely using Ethernet or RF communication – can be back-carried by two people and mounted quickly on a tripod. Due to the portable and quickly deployable nature of the system, the TWISTER can support mobile, infantry and dismounted military and security forces to survey those areas that might not be protected by other stationary systems.
The TWISTER system consists of a cooled thermal imaging camera with continuous optical zoom lens and image processing technologies – enabling the operator to zoom-in and choose the field-of-view (FOV) most appropriate for the particular mission requirement. The operator may opt to discontinue the Scan Mode and investigate details using the continuous zoom in the Observation Mode.
According to Johnny Carni, CONTROP’s VP Marketing & Sales, “the TWISTER was developed in response to the critical need for a portable system that can secure a large area in real-time. Its quick deployment capability makes it an ideal solution for the protection of mobile forces, FOBs, border patrol units and protection of urban areas. With the TWISTER, the entire 360° panoramic picture is displayed on a single screen, which is much easier and simpler to control in the field.”
