ASELSAN Electro-Optical Systems
ASELSAN’s electro-optical systems provide the ability to see, detect and target at night and in difficult weather. These systems comprise thermal cameras, day cameras, laser rangefinders and integrated reconnaissance-surveillance systems. Below we look at the main electro-optical products.
Reconnaissance-surveillance and targeting systems
Among ASELSAN’s prominent electro-optical systems, the ASELFLIR-500 is an integrated system used for reconnaissance, surveillance and targeting on air and naval platforms. Such systems combine thermal imaging, a day camera and laser ranging/marking in a single package.
Thermal cameras and night vision
ASELSAN has a broad family of thermal cameras and night-vision products for sights, binoculars, driver-vision systems and handheld devices. Laser rangefinders precisely determine target distance, contributing to the firing solution. These products are used in both military and some civilian applications.
| Example | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|
| ASELFLIR-500 | Integrated EO system | Recon/surveillance/targeting |
| Thermal cameras | Imaging | Night/bad-weather vision |
| Laser rangefinder | Laser | Precise distance measurement |
| Night vision | Image intensifier/thermal | Vision in darkness |
