Description
Challenge:
A naval vessel required a stabilized outdoor low light color camera and outdoor IR, rugged camera to monitor irregular activity near the shore lines and out to deeper waters. The camera system required a stabilization box for rough waters, a housing with an IP-67 rating, a pan, tilt, zoom mechanism with both a high resolution camera color camera and IR camera with custom cabling.
Solution:
Integrate a Sony FCB-EX2700 and cooled long wave Infar-Red Cameras into a housings, route their power, control and video through a Moog Pan & Tilt QPT-50. The integrated cameras along with Pan & Tilt unit will then have to be mounted on top of a “stabilization box”. The stabilization box will have to have an integrated inertial measurement unit, IMU, along with a custom manufactured CPU. Each housing needs to be sealed to at least IP67. There will also be a need for custom designed and built cabling for the system. The completed system will then be deployed aboard naval vessels.
