The CONTROP DSP-1 has arrived at EUROSATORY 2006 for the first time here as an operating system.
This is the first opportunity in this established company’s history that visitors to the CONTROP booth in the Israel Pavilion (Hall 6, Stand F-39/10) can actually operate this stabilized payload with a 'hands on' approach. And everyone knows that seeing is believing. The Operator can zoom-in and zoom-out with the specialized unique continuous zoom FLIR lens, a technology not matched by any other infrared camera provider. This unique feature enables the Operator to keep focus and clear sight of the target while getting a closer look during continuous zoom with the FLIR lens. Previously unheard of.
The DSP-1 has been installed and flies on a variety of UAVs, helicopters and fixed wing airplanes. The DSP-1 has been installed on many different aircraft, including but not limited to the Mi-17, Eurocopter Panther AS565 and Puma helicopters. In addition, it has been installed on UAVs including the IAI Scout, Searcher and Aeronautics Aerostar, and fixed wing aircraft such as the CESSNA, as well.
The applications for these systems include a wide variety of military as well as law enforcement and homeland security programs. The DSP-1 has a proven track record to the full satisfaction of all its customers, worldwide. This payload has been chosen on a number of international and domestic surveillance programs as the optimal payload to meet the surveillance requirements.
The DSP-1 is a high resolution, high performance Dual Sensor Stabilized Payload. The DSP-1 is a compact Day/Night observation system especially configured for use on UAV’s, light reconnaissance aircraft, and helicopters. The DSP-1 is a four-gimbal system, gyro-stabilized in azimuth and elevation allowing the EO Sensors’ lines of sight to be aimed and maintained stabilized. The system uses two camera channels: InSb detector Thermal Imaging channel with continuous x22.5 zoom lens (with an option of 36x zoom lens) and a high resolution color CCD Daylight channel with a x20 zoom lens. The DSP-1 is easily integrated onto a wide variety of carrying vehicles thorough a flexible configuration suitable to any specific application.
This most popular stabilized payload is expected to meet great interest in Europe, as it has in Asia and other regions.
