In the context of the rising terrorist threat, situation awareness and real-time information are the means to optimize decision-making. For this purpose, we have developed the CK 23 solution, which allows easy and quick deployment of a costeffective surveillance solution. The vector incorporates a IMINT sensor (EO/IR ) that allows the visual identification of the target (pedestrian, vehicle, boat ...) and its follow-up to make the information available for a decision in real time. The software suite controls and the sensor, prepares the mission and records the data for post-flight analysis. In...
