27 Oct 09. Meprolight, a provider of innovative weapon sights, today announced that it will launch a new version of its NOA uncooled thermal weapon sights (X4 and X7 magnification) at Milipol, the international exhibition of internal state security, to be held in Paris, France, November 17-20, 2009 (booth # 11D034). The new version contains an advanced electronic level indicator, a critical component in balancing the sight for effective long-range shooting. Another new feature is the capability to withstand heavy weapon recoil. The sight’s new version enables bidirectional communications with military devices such as range finders and wireless recording systems. The new version is designed for snipers who operate under harsh environmental conditions and need to detect and accurately engage targets at long ranges reaching more than 1,000 meters in variable weather conditions and very limited light availability or total darkness. The NOA sights, with their high resolution and digital zoom, detect targets in urban or densely vegetated areas, including camouflaged people or targets behind camouflage nets. “This announcement further establishes Meprolight as a global leader in
thermal sights,” said Golan Kalimi, Meprolight’s Vice President Marketing. “The new version greatly improves sniper performance. We are committed to help our clients around the world meet the most demanding challenges of long-range sniping in any environmental condition.”

22 Oct 09. Harris Corporation has unveiled a new airborne-hardened encoder, which efficiently packages and transmits data and full-motion video gathered by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The AcuityH264 encoder compresses full-motion video before attaching mission data, such as telemetry and time of acquisition, to significantly increase the intelligence value of the imagery. The state-of-the-art H.264 compression combined with data standards ensures interoperability with current and future exploitation systems. The AcuityH264 offers a number of features, including image scaling and cropping of high-definition video, easy incorporation of additional channels and expansion capabilities for on-board storage.

26 Oct 09. A Lockheed Martin-led industry team recently completed a successful Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the U.S. Navy’s Communications at Speed and Depth (CSD) program, essential to providing real-time, two-way communications to submarines without having to surface to periscope depth. All U.S. Navy submarines will be equipped with this capability, which will allow communication between underwater submarines and surface ships, aircraft and land-based assets.
