Multifunctional networked observation systems

AR-014-05Multifunctional networked observation system, 160 mm

Armenian documentation: ԱՐ-014-05

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.
