Description
Available is a RVision CARBIDE-150 Positioner. Recently removed from a working system and in good working/physical condtion. Will ship via freight due to weight. See attached photos for specs.
The Carbide-150 is used for unique configurations of sensors such as Laser Range Finders, Xenon Spotlights, Defensive Acoustic Arrays, Laser Designators, and of course long range CCD and Thermal Camera systems. A versatile internal wiring harness and multiple Mil-Spec ports located at the base of the Carbide-150 allow for unlimited configurations without exposing cables to unnecessary wear and tear.
Configurations of multiple sensors utilized in this fashion with the Carbide-150 are termed the COLE configuration. A typical COLE solution would feature a 400-1500mm thermal imager on one side of the positioner with a low light 1500mm Color CCD camera mounted in a pressurized housing on the opposite side. A ground based surveillance radar is often mounted on top of the pan tilt while a Laser Range Finder and Laser Designator are mounted on top of the pressurized color camera housing. Bore-sight adjustment mechanisms are integrated for highly accurate alignment of all sensors. The end solution allows the radar to move independently and acquire targets. That information is sent to the Carbide 150 which in turn tracks those targets autonomously. When the Carbide 150 has locked on, both color and thermal imagery is sent back to command and control along with range and the target is painted with light only visible to individuals wearing night vision goggles.
The Carbide-150 is a work horse for the surveillance industry matched by no other.
