ROTOS
Overview
Remotely Operated Thermal Observation Sight
Thales has developed a state of the art observation system capable of providing surveillance and reconnaissance information to the crew of an Armoured Fighting Vehicle. ROTOS features the latest high performance sensors to be integrated on a platform for advanced surveillance and observation mission. With extensive experience in vehicle integration, Thales has the ability to develop unique solutions made up from a large variety of sensors to meet specific customer requests. Its modular and flexible design makes it suitable for integration on all types of platform, from Protected Patrol Vehicles (PPVs) to Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). Its flexible configuration allows mounting of multiple sensors, such as Thermal Imagers, Laser Range Finders and CCD TV cameras. ROTOS provides on all terrain a 360 degrees visual coverage of the vehicles environment, thus effectively providing surveillance of large areas and ROTOS considerably increases the ability to identify threats, whether those are at a short or long distances from the vehicle. ROTOS head stabilisation makes it possible for the crew to have a steady image when the vehicle is on the move. Observers will no longer have to compromise on essential reconnaissance capabilities. In its mast-mounted configuration, commanders can benefit from an increased vantage point, giving them the means to make the right decision at the right time, even when involved in complex situations. Target position is established through GPS interface and the mast sensors head position.
Thales has a policy of continuous development and improvement and consequently the equipment may vary from the description and specification in this document. This document may not be considered as a contract specification. Graphics do not indicate use or endorsement of the featured equipment or services.
ROTOS also increases chances to detect ground disturbance.
