Night Guardian

Product Specifications

An innovative solution for users who need the benefits of large-format, wide-area imagery within the constraints of lower size, weight and power (SWaP), and affordability. The solution delivers superior situational awareness for ground, naval and airborne operations where visibility is mission-critical. The architecture provides comprehensive coverage of surrounding waters and airspace, enabling warfighters to detect, identify and track multiple surface vessels, low-flying aircraft and potential ground threats.

The wide field-of-view solution excels in search and rescue operations under low visibility conditions, target development, multi-target tracking, remote unattended ground systems, and border patrol by providing 24/7 thermal surveillance in low light and poor weather conditions. It’s optimized for performance and SWaP with electronics available to support 24 Hz operations and digital zoom without image pixelation. Whether deployed on naval ships, ground vehicles, offshore platforms, or patrol aircraft, this solution delivers the persistent wide-area awareness that modern military operations demand.
