India to get FTA optronic sensors
Controp Precision Technologies announced on 21 March that it is supplying its FTA optronic sensor system to the Indian Army.
The sensors are being supplied as part of the upgrade of the L-70 Air Defense Gun under an Air Defense Systems programme. The cameras’ advanced automatic air tracking capabilities will provide the gun with day/night anti-aircraft protection.
The FTA is a ruggedised day/night optronic sensor system, which includes the FOX-250, a high performance thermal imaging camera and a high performance colour CCD day camera, each with a continuous optical zoom lens.
Controp will supply the cameras throughout 2016 – 2017.
The company is also supplying its FOX thermal imaging cameras for India’s Naval Fire Control Systems programme. The cameras are being interfaced with a weapon station and fire control radar.
Johnny Carni, VP marketing, Controp, said: ‘The Indian Army chose our FTA System following very successful field trials and is enthusiastic due to the outstanding performance of these optronic systems in harsh environmental conditions.’
