Gated viewing in airborne applications

| SeaLynx have a long range and can give good images at over 1000 meter distance. The field of view is 8 degree so it have a telescopic feeling. The sensitivity is so good that it normally can see an electric high voltage line at 600-1000 meter distance. This is possible when there are some illumination in the field of view and less good weather. Goggles and traditional night vision have far limited capability than the gated viewing cameras from Laseroptronix.
One of the best applications is to search areas of water for objects like what you do in SAR (Search and rescue). The water appears very dark and objects very white. In this application the gated cameras gives a far better detectability than what a thermal camera can do. In some applications it is possible to detect oil in the water as the water looks black and oil looks white. The contrast makes it easy to see the oil. Price idea about 300 000 sek |
NordLynx have a max range of about 400 meter. It is most suitable for low speed applications but the field of view is over 30 degree so it cowers a large angle and is easy to operate. It is possible to fly on the information only available from NordLynx and it operates in complete darkness as it produces its own light. It is possible to search landing areas from long distance to catch the needed information to make a safe landing approach. This can be done under the worst environmental conditions.
The system penetrate snow and fog and can give up to 4-5 times increase in viewing distance compared to the bare eye with goggles or lamp illumination. For applications in SAR and ambulance helicopters this system is a very good help and increase the safety and operation capability a lot Price idea about 300 000 sek |
Electrical wires for a train viewed at 150 meter distance. There are some lights in the background making these wires not detectable by traditional night vision goggles and viewers. This is only possible by gated viewing laser cameras. |
 Sailing boat at 500 meter distance. The mast is clearly viewed and the wires for the rig is also noticeable at a larger picture than the web. Here there are lots of lamps in the background and they are only viewed as white spots without destroying the image |

Image from a generation 2+ high quality camera. There are some illumination in the field of view which over saturate the camera and the intensifier tube. The dynamic range is not large enough and objects in the darker parts of the image disappears completely. This situation is very typical in many applications for night viewing as it is often common with lamps in many places and darkness between them.
The gated cameras can handle a situation like this with no problems. This advantage is very important and in sharp rescue cases this capability is very important. This image is done at almost the same place as the upper right photo on this page. Here the lamps are small white spots making very little harm. |
