BENEFITS |
| Multi-Sensing, Multi-Tasking |
Ultra 8000's triple-payload capability features a digital, high-resolution infrared video processor (HRVP) for clearer, sharper imagery, even in extreme climates. The system's optional Class IIIb long-range laser illuminator pinpoints ground targets, enhancing ground force coordination when used with night-vision goggles (NVGs). |
| Compact, Light and Stable |
At 9 inches and 29 lbs, the fully sealed Ultra 8000 is the most compact lightweight turret available. Its small size enables increased loads, improved endurance, lower drag and excellent ground clearance. Advanced stabilization helps Ultra 8000 deliver clear, detailed imagery. |
| Enhanced Optical Performance |
The Ultra 8000 series includes a continuous zoom infrared telescope, which permits the operator to select a field-of-view optimized for the tactical situation, or to select three pre-set FOVs for rapid zoom and situational awareness. 8000 series imagers also include ‘focus memory’ which virtually eliminates the need for IR focus adjustments between zoom settings. |
| Low-light TV Camera |
A low-light TV camera with 18x optical and digital zoom delvers outstanding daylight imagery and enhances dusk/dawn operations with a 4x improvement in sensitivity over past systems. Lock the zoom position of the infrared (IR) and TV sensors to automatically match the FOVs and seamlessly switch between the two cameras. Simple, Ergonomic Hand Controller The Ultra 8000 series includes a simplified hand control |
| Simple, Ergonomic Hand Controller |
The Ultra 8000 series includes a simplified hand control unit (SHCU).
