Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Imaging – Powerful Unmanned and Manned ISR Solutions
CACI’s experts have spurred advances in lightweight, gyro-stabilized imaging systems for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and target acquisition to deliver a spectrum of technologies for manned and unmanned air, ground, and maritime missions. Our low size, weight, and power (SWaP) gyro-stabilized imaging systems are deployed around the world in more than 50 countries supporting aerial ISR operations, disaster management, emergency response, border protection, law enforcement, search and rescue, force protection, and critical infrastructure protection operations for customers.
Our counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) experts draw on their extensive technical knowledge and operational experience to develop and mature a range of advanced multi-mission imaging systems. Our software-enabled gimbal systems can be rapidly integrated across air, land, and sea platforms, and provide responsive, flexible capabilities to meet mission needs. Our optical payloads are optimized for demanding environments and applications such as:
- Counter UAS and sUAS
- Aerial, ground, and maritime surveillance
- Border protection
- Force protection
- Air defense
- Target acquisition
- Safety of navigation
- Wildfire and disaster response
Our field-proven, multi-mission optical technologies deliver reliable performance for airborne, ground-based, and maritime operations. These imaging systems are supported on a range of mobile and fixed platforms, such as UAS, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, aerostats, fixed-wing aircraft, ground vehicles, maritime vessels, and fixed sites and installations. CACI offers payloads with multiple sensor configurations, including EO, short-wave infrared (SWIR), medium-wave infrared (MWIR), long-wave infrared (LWIR), laser pointer, laser range finder, and laser target designator sensors that meet unique mission needs in challenging environments. All our imaging systems are enhanced with specialized, user-friendly software and video analytics designed to reduce the cognitive burden for users during operations and increase effective situational awareness. Our optical payloads feature several unique enhancements, such as:
- Consistent and reliable object tracking with enhanced automation features
- Accurate geolocation data locks sensors onto specific locations with the click of a button
- Enhanced gyro-stabilization and electronic stabilization that improves image quality by mechanically and electronically removing vibrations associated with platform movement
- Video is encoded onboard to MISB and STANAG standards to maximize system compatibility
- Quick and simple integration facilitates rapid deployment and instant operation
- Systems are manufactured in the United States and Australia to ease export to customers around the world
