Electro-optics technology for a new generation of military and law enforcement small equipment

In the framework of a modernization program, supported by Italian Army, Galileo Avionica (a Finmeccanica company) has developed a family of small equipments based on suites of electro-optics sensors. These modules, designed and built by GA, range from uncooled V0x 25 micron thermal imagers, small and very compact laser rangefinders, CMOS Visible sensors to the last generation of colour OLED microdisplay based visual units. All the EO assemblies are integrated to form very small and lightweight Integrated Sight, a Multi Function Target Locator, and Dynamic Aiming System. Even if the equipments have been developed for military applications many other applications such as law enforcements or surveillance can be envisaged.
