Where is the fourth sensor?
What do we have that is going to use FLIR-500 that operates over about 30000 feet? Neither Akıncı nor Aksungur has operational altitude higher than that. Nor any of the helicopters we might use it on, obviously. Also, Aselsan is already working on FLIR-600 for higher altitudes unless I'm misremembering.The lower end of the temperature range has increased from -55 to -40.
Do you have any source on that "civilian component" claim or are you just making it up because of the temperature mentioned?No export customer would believe that your product with only -40°C will be OK while the rival product comes with Mil-std-810G. This will obviously be a con for aselflir export.
ASELSAN might be working on 600, but it is bigger and if there is mil spec component shortage for 500, the same will be valid for 600 too.
MIL STD 810g testing is done at -55 for storage and -40 for operation as far as I can see from a few testers websites

I think aselflir 500, CATS and wescam images (obvious from the screen interfaces) are being compared (e.g. vibration turbulence).

From left to right, Aselflir 500, CATS and Wescam MX 15.

and my love..
They must be the two different prototype products. It being made calibration test on the AR2. These and maybe more prototype being tried/ will tried on several air vehicles.On this picture there is "sign AR2", but on post https://defencehub.live/threads/sensors-and-detector-programs.340/post-296897
The same device have "sign AR1"?
Are they same device or not?
Wow this shows what ASELSAN is really capable of. They made 220 mm optical aperture fit into 220 mm body. Zero waste.View attachment 62980 aselflir500 vs wescam specs
It refers to the lens diameter. The number for the MX-15D seems to be incorrect. The actual body of the two units is a similar width - 48cm for AF-500 and 42cm for MX-15D.Wow this shows what ASELSAN is really capable of. They made 220 mm optical aperture fit into 220 mm body. Zero waste.
Additional info:Aselflir-500 serial production will start in February 2024. I expect an initial production rate of 8 per month probably doubled to 16 after some time. The Aselflir-500 project moved really smoothly thanks to experiences gained from the CATS project.
Additional info:
160 CATS have been produced so far with monthly production rate of 15-20. 60 of them were exported.
Aselflir-500 value per kg is $20k
