Field/depot

Majority of electro-optical imaging/laser systems (multi-sensor imaging/laser systems) used for surveillance applications are small size/mass portable systems. Due to small mass/size they can be easily delivered for testing at laboratory/workshop conditions. Therefore great majority of Inframet test systems are systems optimized for tests at laboratory/workshop conditions. However, significant portion of multi sensor imaging/laser systems used worldwide are systems mounted on different types of vehicles (optionally aircraft). Due to big size/mass and difficult disconnecting of such EO system from vehicle electrical/mechanical system it is difficult or often not possible to have such EO system at laboratory/workshop rooms where could be tested using typical test systems located on optical tables. Such vehicle mounted EO system must be tested at field/depot conditions. Therefore a new class of test systems is needed to enable testing vehicle mounted systems at field depot conditions.

Inframet uses three methods to carry out testing multi sensor EO systems at field/depot conditions:

  1. VEMS system: modified collimator based MS test system (details of typical MS at https://www.inframet.com/multi-sensor_systems.htm) mounted on a special elevating frame (see VEMS system)

  2. Collimators based portable/mobile collimator test systems that can be easily transported and located opposite tested EO system (see LBOR or JAT200 https://www.inframet.com/boresight_systems.htm)

  3. VED system: set of direct-view non-collimator test stations located at significant distance from tested EO system that simulate real targets.
