The Albatross is a third generation thermal imager, based upon a high sensitive cooled FPA detector working in the 3-5 um spectral window.
Albatross can be used for long range surveillance tasks for operations against smuggling activities, illegal immigration and for security reasons on land or coastal areas.
Designed for detection and tracking of long range targets, the Albatross owes its exceptional performance to the combination of the sensor quality, a narrow field of view, high quality optics, smart (video) processing algorithms, high line of sight, solar glints filter, dedicated software algorithms for long range point targets and a special non-uniformity correction using a scene based thermal referencing.
Targets can be identified or tracked by optimizing the video in a selected area. This area within the video can be selected manually or
automatically by the user. The Albatross thermal imager can adjust the video settings such as contrast, brightness and offset in order to improve the image locally. The carbonfiber epoxy housing protects the thermal imager and avoids corrosion and rust. The Albatross thermal imager can be equipped with a dovetail construction to combine flexibility for the user while preserving the high line of sight.
The Albatross thermal imager is therefore an excellent solution for integration in Fire Control Systems for naval of land systems. Many european NATO countries have selected the Albatross thermal imager for surveillance and/or tracking applications
