NERIO-ULR

Ultra-Long Range Surveillance and Target Acquisition System

NERIO-ULR is a state-of-the-art modular Electro-Optical (EO) Surveillance, Target Acquisition (STA), and Reconnaissance system optimized for long-range Air Base Defense and Security applications.

These include:

  • Border security and Critical National Infra-Structure protection
  • Mobile STA and Reconnaissance
  • Coastal surveillance
  • Air Defense and Counter-UAS
  • Homeland Security Operations

NERIO-ULR integrates world-class EO sensors as part of a fully flexible payload configuration and a gyro-stabilized director mechanism, enabling capability, cost, and performance optimized according to specific customer needs.

Utilizing the Horizon Thermal Imaging (TI) camera for the provision of a 24-hr operational capability, NERIO-ULR combines an 11° to 0.9° zoom field-of-view high definition (HD) TI with a 360° x ±50° system field of regard.

High-definition visible band daylight camera and eye-safe laser range finder, the NERIO-ULR is a world-leading, high-performance electro-optical infrared sensor for Counter UAS system and is operationally proven on the Falcon Shield.
