The large-format Ranger III is a medium- to long-range portable thermal imaging system built around a highly sensitive mid-wave infrared detector. The dual field-of-view telescope allows the system to track vehicles at ranges exceeding 20 km. The Ranger III Multi-Sensor (MS) integrates the Ranger III’s thermal imager with a powerful daylight sensor, GPS, advanced mapping software, and optional laser rangefinder for a precision target geo-location capability. Operators field Ranger III MS as a portable stand-alone system, or integrate it into a network of fixed-site sensors.
The Ranger III Multi-Sensor (MS) is a powerful, sophisticated multi-sensor system designed for demanding, extremely long-range security and surveillance applications. In its MS configuration, FLIR joins the Ranger III’s high-resolution, continuous zoom thermal camera to a high performance TV camera with a long-range lens. Optional GPS, Digital Magnetic Compass and Laser Rangefinder payloads are also available. The combination of these sensors allows operators to precisely geo-locate objects of interest, and display their position as an overlay on a digital map. It is even possible to integrate Ranger III MS with radar systems to automatically direct the camera, and provide visual target assessment of the radar signature. The Ranger III MS offers control and compressed video over IP, as well as traditional analog video, and control with Pelco D, RS-232 and -422 serial formats.
