NERIO-LR
Long Range Surveillance and Threat Acquisition System
NERIO-LR is a state of the art modular Electro-Optical (EO) Surveillance, Threat Acquisition (STA) and Reconnaissance system designed to satisfy a broad range of current and emerging customer requirements.
These include:
- Border security and Critical National Infrastructure protection
- Vehicle based STA and Reconnaissance operational from both wheeled and tracked vehicle platforms
- Coastal surveillance
- Ship borne STA and Situation Awareness
NERIO-LR integrates world-class EO sensors as part of a fully flexible payload configuration together with a gyro-stabilised director mechanism enabling capability, cost, and performance to be optimized according to specific customer needs. Utilizing the SLX-Hawk Thermal Imaging (TI) camera for provision of a 24/7 operational capability, NERIO-LR combines a 24° to 1.8° TI zoom field of view with a 360° x +60°/-90° system field of regard. This breadth of imaging coverage and performance capability enables customers to conduct surveillance acquisition operations at both very short and long-range
with a single EO system asset.
