ARGOS-II Airborne EOS

Product catalog summary

Overview: The ARGOS-II HD is a versatile system designed for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) applications, including search and rescue, maritime surveillance, military reconnaissance, and more. It is adaptable to various platforms such as fixed-wing, rotary-wing, UAVs, and aerostats.

Features and Benefits: The system boasts multi-sensor and multi-spectral capabilities with a single LRU configuration. It includes continuous zoom optics for enhanced situational awareness, a MWIR continuous zoom thermal imaging camera, and HDTV-zoom and spotter cameras with color and NIR functions. It also features internal IMU and GPS for accurate GEO functions, real-time on-board image processing, and multiple video and communication interfaces. The system is ITAR-free.

Payload Specifications: The MWIR camera offers a resolution of 1280 × 1024 pixels with a wavelength range of 3 - 5 µm. The HDTV-zoom camera provides a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels with digital zoom capabilities. Optional features include a HDTV-spotter camera, laser rangefinder, NIR laser illuminator, and laser pointer.

System Specifications: The ARGOS-II HD turret weighs less than 52 kg and features 2-axis inner and outer active control with 6-axis passive damping. It supports various control interfaces, including RS-422, MIL-STD-1553B, and Ethernet. Video interfaces include 4 simultaneous digital and 2 analog outputs, with optional compressed video output.

Standards and Environmental: The system complies with RTCA-DO-160, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461 standards. It operates in temperatures from -40°C to +55°C and up to 50,000 ft altitude with an airspeed of 320 KTAS at sea level.

Enhanced Image Processing: The system includes features like blending, picture-in-picture, pseudo color, isotherms, and various image enhancement functions. It supports radar, moving map, searchlight, remote control, and datalinks interfaces.

Additional Functionality: The ARGOS-II HD includes on-board IMU and GPS for geo-functions, enhanced multimode autotracker, continuous autofocus, and search pattern scanning. It also supports remote diagnostics through an Ethernet maintenance port.
