The Skylark ® I-LE system combines the characteristics normallyreserved for larger unmanned aerial systems within the form-fac<strong>to</strong>r <strong>of</strong> a man-portable system.KAT EYE MR Surveillance SystemThe KAT EYE system is a high-performance, highly-mobile and easy <strong>to</strong> emplace Medium RangeDay/Night Wireless Surveillance System using a cutting edge day camera and a cooled, highly sensitive640x480 InSb Focal Plane Array thermal camera with 8X continuous optical zoom. The system is imagestabilized and has au<strong>to</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ic tracking <strong>of</strong> targets. The basic system consists <strong>of</strong> a Base St<strong>at</strong>ion and oneRemote St<strong>at</strong>ion which can be emplaced up <strong>to</strong> 5 Km away for wireless oper<strong>at</strong>ion or within 500m for fiber opticoper<strong>at</strong>ion. A single Base St<strong>at</strong>ion can moni<strong>to</strong>r and control up <strong>to</strong> four (4) Remote St<strong>at</strong>ions. The system can bepowered by genera<strong>to</strong>r, b<strong>at</strong>teries, solar (supplemental power), or vehicle power.Coral-CRThe Coral-CR is a high-performance, tripod mounted or hand-held Long Range Day/Night Thermal ImagingSystem using a st<strong>at</strong>e-<strong>of</strong>-the-art day camera and a cooled, highly sensitive 640x512 InSb Focal Plane Arraythermal camera with continuous optical zoom, as well as 4X digital zoom. The Laser Range Finder, digitalmagnetic compass, and global positioning system allow gener<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> target coordin<strong>at</strong>es <strong>to</strong> 10Km. TheCoral-CR also supports video out via standard BNC connec<strong>to</strong>r.
MARSMARS is an uncooled hand-held thermal imager with target acquisition capabilities. This lightweight, compactsystem fe<strong>at</strong>ures two day cameras – Wide Field <strong>of</strong> View and Narrow Field <strong>of</strong> View, as well as an eye-safeLRF, digital magnetic compass, real-time video recorder, real time target acquisition and target coordin<strong>at</strong>ecalcul<strong>at</strong>ion and image and target d<strong>at</strong>a s<strong>to</strong>rage memory. The MARS is ideal for use in infantry and specialunits, security, target acquisition for infantry commanders and perimeter defense and night sight and targetacquisition for the future soldier.Tacter ® -31D ComputerThe Tacter ® -31D is the next gener<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> the Tacter ® family <strong>of</strong> military computers, fe<strong>at</strong>uring a tabletconfigur<strong>at</strong>ion. The Tacter ® -31D computer provides powerful computing capabilities, high performance 10.4”XGA sun-readable display with LED backlight, smart power management algorithm, a Smart Li-lon b<strong>at</strong>teryfor long stand-alone oper<strong>at</strong>ion time, hot-swap (secondary b<strong>at</strong>tery) for uninterrupted oper<strong>at</strong>ion during mainb<strong>at</strong>tery hot-swap, optional military or commercial embedded GPS and much more. The Tacter ® -31Dcomputer’s outstanding vers<strong>at</strong>ility and capabilities place it as an excellent candid<strong>at</strong>e <strong>to</strong> serve all comb<strong>at</strong>echelons in the rapidly evolving world <strong>of</strong> the new modern digital b<strong>at</strong>tlefield.Services and Support <strong>Solutions</strong><strong>Elbit</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong> provides support solutions for specific cus<strong>to</strong>mer needs.
