Long range surveillance (LRS)

CST's SPECTREL high-end surveillance systems are designed for use in military and high-end homeland security applications. The SPECTREL solutions are built around a highly sensitive CCD camera coupled with a ruggedised zoom lens, installed in a protective housing, designed to withstand harsh conditions. The camera and lens are bore-sighted so the object of interest stays in the picture even when the operator zooms in or out.

Situational awareness for armoured vehicles (SiTA)

By mounting an array of cameras on the chassis of armoured personnel carriers, tanks or other tracked-vehicles, an unobstructed view over the near surroundings of the vehicle can be maintained with the hatches closed, providing safety for the entire vehicle crew and the material.

The CITADEL range of cameras includes a unique 170° field of view, providing undistorted panoramic imaging from dawn to dusk. All CITADEL cameras are designed to deliver high-performance images, even under the harshest conditions of shock and vibration and in temperatures ranging from -40°C - +70°C.

Remote weapon stations (RWS)

The MAGNEL series of integrated zoom cameras for Remote Weapon Systems is the perfect choice for customers demanding the highest performing electro-optic weapon guiding sub-systems, capable of operating under extreme conditions of temperature, shock and vibration.

The product all comply with MIL-Std 810F and can therefore be installed on both tracked and wheeled vehicles. The camera system is bore-sighted to achieve a precision of ±0.2 mrad over the complete zoom range and the full temperature from -40°C to +70°C.
