Innovative Sensor Developments – Specialized Surveillance
Innovative Sensor Developments (ISD) is a leading developer of video systems for rugged and mobile military applications. It is the most recent addition to the AD Group, becoming a subsidiary as a result of a landmark deal signed in May 2006.
The Right View for Long Range Surveillance
When it comes to the CCTV solutions offered by ISD, one of the main areas of innovation is the company's sophisticated DACIC (Detailed and Contextual Imaging Camera) which comes in a tough, rugged module to withstand the rigors of military operation. It is particularly suited, for example, to the effective surveillance of key border areas.
The significant advantage of the 50/500mm Long Range Surveillance (LRS) camera is the ability – unique in the industry - to provide simultaneous - PAL format outputs - in wide and narrow fields of view on separate or picture in picture channels. This contrasts with the situation before where long range surveillance called for the deployment of two cameras - one detailed and one contextual - which due to cost factors severely restricted its potential. |

Now with DACIC there is a single, economic, low weight camera which supports long range surveillance at a fraction of the previous cost and, free of constraints, can be used on any robust pan and tilt mount with a good brake.
Effective Targetting with VAMP
ISD is also a leading provider of night vision colour zoom sights for remote weapon stations and turret gunnery applications. Its latest innovation in this area is the lightweight VAMP 004 NV (Video Aiming Module Package Night Vision). This is capable of supplying colour imagery in extremely low light situations down to a light level of 0.00025 lux.
The unit has been designed to meet a typical fighting vehicle specification and to survive and give high reliability in the harsh environment of tracked and wheeled military vehicle systems. The VAMP 004 NV is one of a family of proprietary gun-sight camera systems that can be readily adapted for specific customer specifications with only minor changes to the alignment interface.
