Aselsan MWIR MCT IIR sensor 1280x1024
Litening 4: 1024 x 1024
Litening 5: 1,2K x 1,2K
Sniper ATP: 1K x 1K
Sniper XR: 612 x 540 (F35 EOTS is based on Sniper XR tech, EOTS+ is most likely based on ATP)

Could you learn sensor spects of merops? If you could learn it, you can share with us, please?

 

[Rodeo]

Will F500C be our first EOTS that will utilize indigenous MCT FPAs?

• R400D (1024x768MWIR, 640x512 SWIR) Main FLIR of Helicopters, especially Gökbey
• F500C (1280x1024 MWIR, 1280x1024 SWIR) Main FLIR of Drones, attack helicopters and maritime patrol aircrafts with 15inch gimbal diameter
• AselFLIR 600 (1280x1024 MWIR, 1280x1024 SWIR) Main Flir of high altitude drones such as Aksungur and Akinci with 22 inch gimbal diameter

*MEROPS must be the name of AselFlir600. @Combat-Master any idea?

 

[akrepon]

Why? What has Hensoldt anything to do with this?

Aselsan and Denel cooperating on MEROPS gimbal - defenceWeb

On the Turkish Pavilion at Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) 2022 Aselsan is showing its ‘MEROPS’ next generation air surveillance and targeting gimbal sight. The MEROPS (Multi-spectral Extended Range Optical Sight) system was displayed for the first time in June at the Eurosatory exhibition in...

www.defenceweb.co.za

The MEROPS system was specifically designed for extreme combat situations, particularly in low light and the difficult light encountered at dawn and dusk. Among the roles envisaged for MEROPS are medium to long range observation and reconnaissance, pointing, area illumination and target designation at medium altitude.

The sight incorporates the latest in image processing technologies, including traditional image enhancement, as well as the latest in machine vision and AI based algorithms. Its mission enhancement capabilities include moving target identification, isotherms, false colour identification and threat identification.

The MEROPS is a self-contained single LRU (line-replacement unit) with quick-release connections. Payloads can be exchanged without calibration. Electronic bore-sighting is done before a mission, and it boasts an embedded web server for setup, control, and maintenance. According to Kobus Coetzee, ASA’s Engineering Manager, the MEROPS is easy to maintain.

Its next-generation software functionality includes multi-target auto-tracking with target re-acquisition, artificial intelligence (AI) threat detection classification and background automatic see-spot detection. The MEROPS operates at temperatures from -40°C to 70°C.

Whenever I hear about denel only thing that comes in my mind is joint development and tech proliferation lol.

Oh damn! Why don't they get photos its specs from near!? I'll errupt for my wonder, anymore.

 

[Khagan1923]

German media will start crying the second they get wind of this.

Should make for nice food.

This is waay above my expectations. It's so beyond the horizon, I'm almost tempted to discard it. I don't know any EOTS system that can give the above specs. Even MX-25 falls short of this. And this only weighs 50 kg? Additional question. Why do they call the daylight camera or NIR camera HD? 2 Megapixels is enough to qualify as Full-HD whereas the beast above features 4096x4096 pixels camera which makes about 16.7 Megapixels!

Somebody with the knowledge should clarify these specs. I cannot wrap my head around it.

 

[manifesto]

Wow, I had estimated downgrade versions F500C for MEROPS. But this is seen at F500C quality.

Thank you HENSOLDT South Africa ;-)

Does HENSOLDT South Africa have the power to sell the technology to Aselsan without referring to the German government?

This news just gave me confidence in BEOS, IRST and FSS (Turkish DAS) systems.
