SLX-SuperHawk
Thermal Imaging Camera
SLX-SuperHawk is a Medium Wave Infra-Red (MWIR) thermal imaging camera employing the latest focal plane array technology to meet long-range surveillance
and target identification requirements. It provides a wider Field of View (FoV) for greater situational awareness while delivering a narrower IFoV for longer-range target identification and engagement.
It is available in two variants, incorporating a high definition (HD) 1280x1024 resolution focal plane array detector in total darkness; the camera captures images by sensing temperature differences as small as 1/50th of a degree.
SLX-Superhawk S
SLX-SuperHawk S incorporates an integrated detector cooler assembly (IDCA), providing a compact, high-performance capability.
SLX-Superhawk L
SLX-SuperHawk incorporates a 40,000-hour-long life split linear cooler offering the same high performance but with extended maintenance-free operation and low cost of ownership.
SLX-SuperHawk qualifies for use in both military and civil applications, including border surveillance, missile guidance, policing, customs control, coastal security, and asset protection.
