Local Situational Awareness (LSA)

Local Situational Awareness (LSA) represents a major improvement in the operational perception of military forces. With its 360-degree perimeter view, the LSA system provides a continuous awareness of the immediate tactical environment. Its main advantage lies in its ability to deliver a panoramic view around the vehicle, covering all blind spots and sensitive areas.

These systems relies on thermal sensor technology to ensure continuous perimeter surveillance, regardless of environmental conditions. Through the integration of thermal infrared cameras and advanced analytical tools, they enable the identification of potential threats before they become critical. This early detection is crucial in complex environments, whether in cluttered urban terrain or rugged natural areas.

One of the major challenges of LSA optronic systems lies in their ability to process and synthesize multiple streams of information in real time. By converting this data into clear and actionable indicators, they help crews maintain constant vigilance while reducing their cognitive load. This cognitive aspect is essential, as it allows military personnel to focus their attention on decision-making rather than merely gathering information.

On the operational level, these technologies play a decisive role in various tactical scenarios. They significantly enhance movement security by detecting traps or hostile approaches and are equally valuable during static phases by maintaining continuous perimeter surveillance. Their ability to operate autonomously or as part of larger integrated networks makes them highly versatile force multipliers.

LSA systems address the growing demands of modern conflicts, where control of the immediate environment becomes a decisive factor for both success and survival. The PeriSight and CamSight technologies are perfectly suited to meet these challenges.

PeriSight is a modular optronic solution for military vehicles, offering enhanced day and night observation and surveillance capabilities. It improves hemispheric monitoring through the integration of multiple thermal infrared camera modules. PeriSight also enables safe and intuitive driving, even at high speeds and in low-visibility conditions (DVE), while delivering high-quality panoramic and multidirectional vision around and above the vehicle.

CamSight is a range of compact and versatile LWIR thermal camera modules designed for integrators and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These lightweight, low-power-consumption modules (SWaP – Size, Weight, and Power) provide high-quality thermal vision for optimal surveillance and protection applications, both day and night. Embedded algorithms continuously enhance image quality, ensuring clear vision in all circumstances. Compatible with various interfaces such as HD-SDI, Ethernet, GigEVision, H.264/H.265, and MPEG, these modules integrate easily into different transmission and control systems, offering maximum flexibility for critical missions.

Thanks to their modular design and adaptability to various military platforms, these optronic systems stand out as forward-looking solutions, poised to play a central role in the evolution of military operational capabilities.
