The Future in sharp focus for Qioptiq

Innovation is a key attribute of the success of Qioptiq. With world class capability in design, coupled with international award winning technical achievement, Qioptiq has demonstrated repeatedly an ability to convert technical innovation into producible cost-effective designs. This year at Eurosatory we will be once more demonstrating this capability.

We will show a number of advanced products including the new range of Thermal continuous zoom cameras to service the ground vehicle, border surveillance and anti-aircraft markets. HADES is the latest ruggedised solution for challenging long range requirements with a rapid, continuous zoom function allowing surveillance of vast areas. PanthIR is a 10:1 continuous zoom camera for mast mounted surveillance and remote weapon station applications. CougIR is a 6:1 continuous zoom camera for targeting and short range surveillance. PumIR is the next generation of dual field of view zoom lens assemblies, compatible with the latest generation of 17μm and 12μm uncooled focal plane arrays. Designed for use with all commonly used sensor engines.

We will also have our latest dismounted sighting solutions. KITE IN LINE is an in-line Image Intensified weapon sight designed for use in military environments and exceling in the night vision 'clip on' market due to an unrivalled combination of optical performance, size and weight. SAKER is a high performance in-line fused weapon sight combining image intensified and thermal imaging technologies to deliver enhanced 24 hr capability.

We will also show a spread of capability in sensing and detecting including the HARLID High Angular Resolution Laser Irradiance Detector. The Excelitas’ HARLID™ platform is designed for use in Laser Warning Receiver Systems to detect and provide precise angle-of-arrival (AoA) information from direct and indirect scattered light from laser range finders, target designators, and active laser Electro-Optic (E.O.) systems.

Craig Taylor, Qioptiq, commented: “Capturing new technological developments and successfully exploiting them is not a new concept. However, what is important is constantly considering new opportunities and adapting our approach. In a changing market, what’s important for our customers is our ability to deliver world-leading products that are effective, efficient and adaptable.”
