Product category :Tank & Armoured Fighting Vehicle Electronic Systems
The Indigenous Commander’s Panoramic Sight (ICPS) is designed to provide a stabilized line-of-sight (LOS) to carry out surveillance over n x 360 degrees in azimuth and over -13° to +40°(settable) in elevation during Day and Night. The ICPS is a gyro-stabilized panoramic Sight used for surveillance, targets acquisition & designation, command and control fire power in both day and night conditions. The ICPS adopts the open architecture concept which provides a plug-and play configuration that enables it to accommodate in a variety of platforms. The available wide range of electrical interface standards that are catered on the ICPS allows a lean & straightforward platform interface.
Configuration:
The ICPS comprises of the following major sub-systems
- Sight Head Assembly (SHA) include:
- An eye-safe LRF
- Combined Day and TI camera with continuous zoom
- Sight System Electronics (SSE)
- Display and Control Unit.
- Power Conditioning Module.
- Set of Interconnecting cables.
The broad functional details of ICPS modules are as follows:
- Sight Head Assembly (SHA) houses the Azimuth & Elevation gimbals along with the Day & TI camera.
- Commander’s Sight Electronics Unit (SSE) for the sight control, system management and interface with the GMS & GCS.
