  • Thermal camera
  • Laser Range Finder
  • Day Camera
  • GPS Receiver
  • Digital Magnetic Compass

Thanks to the high-performance thermal camera in the DRAGONEYE system, the system provides the user with visibility during the day, at night and in adverse weather conditions.

DRAGONEYE ensures that the target coordinates are detected with high precision and thus plays a leading role in transmitting this coordinate information, which is determined by various communication tools, to other support elements.

Dörtgöz thermal camera  Turkey Unknown DÖRTGÖZ is a 3rd generation thermal imaging system with today's most modern technology, developed for the detection, identification and diagnosis of threats from a distance.

DÖRTGÖZ is designed to meet tactical field needs in all weather conditions, day or night.

DÖRTGÖZ Thermal Camera can be supplied with DÖRTGÖZ-S and DÖRTGÖZ-L models with different optical set options, depending on the requirements. DÖRTGÖZ has models for land and sea applications.

DAS- DISTRIBUTED OPTICAL Aperture CAMERA SYSTEM  Turkey Unknown DAS- DISTRIBUTED OPTICAL Aperture CAMERA SYSTEM is a situational awareness system that offers 360° continuous surveillance with integrated thermal and daytime cameras. DAS is specifically designed to provide mobile and stationary surveillance. Depending on the task conditions, the user has the option to use a number of triple camera blocks to surround a particular facility, building or vehicle. The system combines images from these blocks to ensure environmental security.

Usage areas

ASIR IR reconnaissance camera  Turkey Unknown ASIR is a thermal imaging device with a 288x4 Focal Plane Index Detector that detects in the Far Infrared band, and it enables the detection of threatening elements easily in both day and night conditions.

Usage areas

Göz SeeSpot  Turkey Unknown EYE-SeeSpot (EYE-SS) Thermal Camera is used for detection, diagnosis and identification of threats; It is a thermal camera that provides high performance in all weather conditions day and night. GÖZ-SS operates at wavelengths between 3–5 μm and also at a wavelength of 1.06 μm. Due to this feature, GÖZ-SS device gives the user; It also gives the opportunity to see the laser spot with a wavelength of 1.06 μm in all weather conditions, day and night.

GÖZ-SS thermal camera can be used alone on three legs, or it can work integrated with ENGEREK Laser Target Marking Device.

ADLR LRF  Turkey Unknown ADLR Laser Range Finder is a high performance laser range finder designed for use in air defense systems.

ADLR uses a high-power, high-pulse frequency, diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser source, which allows measuring the distance of particularly high-speed, small targets. Conversion to eye-safe wavelength is achieved with an Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO).

For easy aiming, there is a day vision camera inside the device.
