CONTROP Precision Technologies has won a contract to supply electro-optical and infrared sensors for United Nations helicopters.
CONTROP's DSP-HD sensors were installed on Mi-17, Mi-24, Bell 407 and Eurocopter EC-145 helicopters, according to a company news release.
"The systems' thermal imager with a continuous zoom lens make them ideal for day and night surveillance applications," CONTROPS' marketing vice president, Johnny Carni, said. "The new addition of the HD [high definition] camera make these reputable payloads an outstanding solution for even the most challenging surveillance and observation requirements."
