Cedip Infrared Systems has demonstrated a helicopter-based IR remote sensing system in conjunction with the ETBS testing centre of the Delegation Generale pour l'Armement (Bourges, France).

Cedip Infrared Systems has demonstrated a helicopter-based IR remote sensing system in conjunction with the ETBS testing centre of the Delegation Generale pour l'Armement (Bourges, France).

Employing Cedip Jade MWIR camera technology installed in a three-axis stabilised gimble underneath a helicopter fuselage, several square kilometres of a ground field were remotely mapped in high definition in the mid-infra-red region (3-5um).

To construct a ground map the helicopter was flown at an altitude of 300m for 30min with full dynamic range IR images continuously collected and stored in real time.

After image acquisition the results were post-processed in order to reconstruct a complete map of the field for each wavelength of interest.

The Jade MWIR cameras employed in the tests use a MCT based focal plane array sensor cooled with a cooler to provide extremely high sensitivity at the highest possible frame rates.

Coupled with Cedip's powerful, yet intuitive PC-based analysis and reporting software Altair, the system provides a highly effective solution for obtaining accurate IR measurements in the most challenging test situations.
