Multifunctional networked observation systems

AR-014-04Multifunctional networked observation system, 75 mm

Armenian documentation: ԱՐ-014-04

The device is a multifunctional observation system comprising daylight and thermal cameras integrated with a pan-tilt system, a rangefinder, a Global Positioning System (GPS), and automatic calculation of object geographic coordinates. The system also supports network-based control, providing real-time data transmission and remote operation.

Aragats AR-014-04 networked observation system: sealed olive-green optical head with a 75 mm thermal objective, day-camera lens and rangefinder apertures on a pan-and-tilt pedestal.

Not published for this system: Vehicle identification range (thermal channel). Both the English and the Armenian datasheet print the same internally inconsistent value here, so it has been left out rather than corrected. Contact aragats@aragatsltd.am for the confirmed figure.
