Sensor Platforms
The company's involvement with sensor platforms for surface and underwater vessels starting in the 1970's has led to an in-depth expertise in this important field based on the company's in-house technologies.
MSI provides bespoke 2 or 4 axis solutions to many stabilised sensor platform requirements.Examples include: Director Aiming Sight (DAS) This well proven and fast reaction platform provides line-of-sight and stabilised visual aquisition of targets. A range of sensors can be fitted on an elevating arm e.g. binoculars, laser range finders, thermal imagers, TV, video, with autotrack if required. Control can be local by a seated operator or remotely by ship's fire control system or a dedicated console. |  The stabilised Director Aiming Sight | ||||
