L-3 Communications Cincinnati Electronics


Overview 00L-3 Cincinnati Electronics (L-3 CE) advanced electronic technology and patented sensor architecture provides high definition, low power consumption imagers in a lightweight, compact package. 00The NightConqueror meets the demanding conditions for ground battle strategies, providing enhanced situational awareness and a common clear view of the battlespace. The NightConqueror extends the reach of the warfighter in tracking/target recognition identification and acquisition. 00L-3 CE imagers overcome atmospheric conditions and wide temperature and humidity extremes. These high-performance imagers provide greater detection capability for improved standoff range and greater force safety, delivering up to 4x the performance and 3x the reliability at half the cost of current competitive sighting systems.
Argus Force Protection Systems: Perimeter protection, man-portable, systems are net-workable. Long Range Reconnaissance: Operational in daylight or dark, unaffected by atmospheric clutter, extremely long detection range Target Acquisition: Increases engagement range, wide field of vision, precision sighting for increased lethal effect Laser Targeting/Munitions Delivery: View laser spot and hi-def infrared image simultaneously, bore sight confirmation Forward fire support.

Argus Force Protection Systems 00Force Protection is a critical discipline in today’s armed forces. L-3 CE’s NightConqueror is a valuable asset in the detection and identification of perimeter threats. This high definition, long range imaging system has been combined with various sensor technologies to create dynamic synergies. 00The Argus system consists of a man-portable radar that detects an intruder and then utilizes the NightConqueror thermal so the operator can seamlessly locate, visually assess, and then track intruders. It can be used as a stand-alone unit or multiple systems can be networked.

Long-Range Reconnaissance 00L-3 CE’s new night/day imager lets users take the long-range view and enables the combatant to operate above and beyond the fray with this latest design infrared thermal imager. It's miles ahead of the competition (kilometers, too) in its detection range. 00The rugged construction handles the tough operating environments of manned or remote-controlled scout vehicles. Operational in daytime or darkness, at extremely long ranges, and unaffected by atmospheric clutter or adverse visibility, this unit provides field commanders a clear view of potential and actual threats.

Target Acquisition 00L-3 Cincinnati Electronics MWIR thermal imagers can conquer the darkness and overcome atmospheric clutter, weather, and battlefield obscurants. Our new family of advanced thermal imaging modules provides the highest definition imagery even under the most adverse conditions, providing a common clear view of the battlespace. Available in custom configurations to match-up to today's challenging mission profiles, they significantly extend the reach of the warfighter in tracking, target recognition/identification/acquisition, and other land combat applications. 00These new L-3 CE imaging modules carve out a true path to horizontal technology insertion across numerous battle platforms, offering a quantum leap toward the objective force. They are true "drop in replacements" that in every way meet or exceed the older unit's form, fit, and function. L-3 CE’s upgraded legacy platforms provide flexibility and synergy in a variety of applications, addressing many of todays most difficult mission profiles. 00While they appear to be functionally identical to the operator, they provide greatly improved imaging performance, and gather efficient, up-to-date combat intelligence for reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition. Additionally the units: Increase engagement range Provide a wider field of regard which enhances target acquisition 24/7/365 Distinguish friend from foe beyond (normal) visual range Provide precision sighting of munitions with increased lethal effect Engage targets faster at an extended range

Laser Targeting/Munitions Delivery 00L-3 CE’s laser “SeeSpot” provides state-of-the-art target acquisition and designation. L-3 CE lets users view the designating laser spot and the high-definition thermal infrared image simultaneously! This advanced technology permits a broader range of tactics, techniques, and missions for the combat soldier so equipped. With ground laser target designators allowing clear target location, precision laser guided munitions can be delivered on target, day and night, and under adverse weather conditions. The "SeeSpot" will also support reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition for next-generation munitions delivery. 00A unique system architecture allows the operator to view the scene unaffected by solar saturation, battlefield obscurants (fog, smoke), ambiguous target reflections, or atmospheric clutter, even in high humidity. It provides laser imaging in excess of 5 km. Compact, lightweight, and portable, this combination laser/infrared imager permits immediate operator feedback and enables more accurate image alignment between the laser designator and the thermal imaging system. Applications include: Bore sight confirmation, crew weapons Laser imaging/munitions delivery Wide area situational awareness Target identification/recognition/ acquisition Forward fire support
