Kappa opto-electronics KAPPA opto-electronics GmbH is a manufacturer of high quality CCD cameras and optronic systems, complying with ISO 9001. Our products are developed and manufactured according to civil (RTCA/DO-160 D/EUROCAE/ED-14D) and military standards (MIL-STD). KAPPA has established itself as a qualified and reliable partner of international companies and as an integral part of several projects, e.g. the new Airbus A 380 and the Leopard II tank.Applications include:Long range observationDay and night sightsHUD applicationsPayloads optronicsDrones optronicsUnmanned vehiclesHelmet mounted camerasVehicle observationTargeting systemsX-ray detectionCCD CAMERA MODULES AND OPTRONIC SYSTEMS FOR DAY AND NIGHT SIGHTSThese cameras have proven their reliability in harsh environments. Modular electronic design, resistance to shock, vibration and temperature as well as low-noise and high-linear signal transmission are integral performance characteristics. They provide safety relevant information for surveillance, observation, recognition and identification and targeting. The cameras are used in different projects (LeFlaSys, Puma, VAB, VBCI, Leclerc, Leopard II).RIB 2000 - INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR GUN BARRELS (CALIBER 76mm to 203mm)The measuring and examination system RIB 2000 supports the defence industry and military user in doing quality control and inspection of wear on the inside surfaces of gun barrels of different bore sizes and diameters/calibres. It can be utilised within the production processes or for inspection of wear resulting from actual use. RIB 2000 also handles documentation and archiving of effects.CVS-RS - RIFLESCOPE CAMERA SYSTEM FOR MARKSMAN TRAINING, SHOOTING PRACTICE AND AIMING SUPPORTThe CVS-RS, a miniaturized riflescope camera that can be used by sharpshooters, marksmen and rifle officers, enables exact analysis of aiming and firing, live video evaluation in real time and documentation for shooting training and missions. The riflescope camera system is adaptable to all riflescopes or optical systems (e.g. periscopes, collimators, telescopes, monoculars). A wireless version is available.NVS - NIGHT VISION SYSTEM FOR 24/7 SURVEILLANCEWith a verified minimum illumination of 0,00047lx the KAPPA NVS is one of the most light-sensitive CCD cameras on the market. Designed as a system, the NVS comes with an automatically controlled lens, enabling it to operate around the clock, in pitch darkness as well as in bright sunlight. The integrated infrared LED ring light uses non-visible light waves. The system is designed for night surveillance and daytime observation and reconnaissance.XR 5 - DIGITAL X-RAY DETECTION SYSTEM FOR SUSPICIOUS OBJECTSThe XR 5 is a digital x-ray system with superior image resolution for detection, imaging and screening of suspicious objects (e.g. ammunition). Perfect for rugged routine applications: Compact, portable for mobile use, low-voltage, optional with wireless control and data transmission.DRE - DYNAMIC RANGE ENHANCEMENTA passive method to enhance clarity in live video images for reconnaissance and observation, DRE provides a clearer view in fog, haze, smoke or rain. Optionally the DRE function can be integrated in all KAPPA cameras and optronic systems. This unique technology reveals information in live images (black and white, colour) with poor contrast. Image quality, rendition and display of edges are considerably improved in real time. army-technology.com |
LED Tactical Light Power Reaches New Dimension PILA LED now with light power of up to 250lm.ILEE AG, the PILA distributor for PILA tactical lights and intelligent charger systems in Switzerland, introduces the newest upgrade on LED tactical lights.The LED version power output has now been increased from an already impressive 130lm to stunning 180lm at no extra cost to the user. Additionally, a new version is on offer which further increases the output to an even greater value of 250lm, not previously available from a 6V torch.Other PILA lights come in three sizes ranging from 6V to 12V Xenon power. The Xenon lights provide up to 550lm output power with a high-tech computer designed reflector for a uniform and shadow free illumination. The tail cap switches are available with a tactical switch, remote control switch or with white, red or green LED inserts. PILA Li-ion rechargeable batteries and the matching intelligent charger provides autonomy from battery supplies and can be used anywhere in the world due to a set of matching plugs and 100V-240V 50Hz/60Hz connectors. A 12VDC battery connector is also available. PILA Li-ion rechargeable batteries can be used in almost any torch which uses CR123 batteries. A further useful addition to the system is the CODEX programmable module which permits a setting of timed duty cycles, a strobe mode, pre-programmed SOS or other free programmable power settings.PILA is Swiss engineered and designed and is manufactured to European quality standards with a significant quality advantage over other tactical lamps. Its shape which was designed with human engineering in mind has been defined by professional users as an item of satisfying beauty and ergonomic perfection. This makes PILA attractive to the distressed girl using the blinding effect of the PILA power to stun an aggressor as much as to the commando unit. army-technology.com |
