The Panther-X sets a worldwide standard for mobile
and stationary long range thermal imaging solutions,
offering a wide array of surveillance and security
features in a fully integrated system.
The Panther-X's dual field of view thermal imager
will detect man-sized targets at ranges in excess of
4.5km.
Operating in the 3-5 micron spectral region, it
utilizes advanced cooled photodetector technology in
a 320 x 256 Indium Antimonide InSb, Ultra
Sensitive, 30 micron pitch focal plane array. The
Panther-X's optical system, equipped with an
automatically controlled defroster, is protected
with a diamond-like hard carbon coating designed to
withstand the harshest of conditions, while the
interior elements utilize extremely efficient
anti-reflection coatings that provide outstanding
transmission in all environments. The Panther-X is
self-contained in a nitrogen backfilled
environmentally sound enclosure qualified to
Military Standard 810.
Integrated seamlessly with the Panther-X's thermal
camera are a visible camera with 18x optical zoom,
built in flux gate compass and GPS, mounted on a
360° pan/tilt base. The system includes a remotely
controllable user-friendly power supply and control
box with Ethernet interface and an integrated
joystick control.
