CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- UTC Aerospace
Systems announces the Sensors Unlimited Warrior C2S, the newest
lightweight, field-ready Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) module and
covert laser illuminator. The compact module locks into the
front of a Canon® EOS 5D camera (Mark II and Mark III
models) to immediately provide operators with SWIR imaging
capabilities on the battlefield for day or nighttime use. The
system enables identification quality SWIR imagery, even in total
darkness, with a distinct advantage over visible, thermal and night
vision goggle systems, with the ability to image through glass to
provide target accuracy with enhanced situational awareness.
UTC Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp.
(NYSE: UTX).
For added convenience, the Sensors Unlimited Warrior C2S couples
directly with Canon EF-mount lenses, allowing the user to see
through haze, smoke and dust for enhanced, long-range intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).
This lightweight clip-on Sensors Unlimited Warrior C2S module
uses the uncooled SUI 640HSX SWIR camera core with 640 x 512 pixel
resolution and a 25-micron pitch, with integrated 800x600 SVGA
display and relay optics specifically designed for gloved-hand
operation with a large environmentally sealed power switch for easy
access.
The system can be used with commercial off-the-shelf optics and
cameras without the need for modifications or tools, and will be
showcased with the recently introduced Sensors Unlimited Warrior
HWH (handheld/weapon/helmet) viewer system at the upcoming Special
Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC), May 20 - 22, 2014, Tampa Convention Center, Tampa, Florida. Please visit UTC Aerospace
Systems' booth # 740 for a demonstration.
