After nearly 30 years at the heart of the defense industry, Opgal’s defense solutions are battlefield proven, qualified to the strictest military standards, and have been deployed and are used in land, sea and air.
Ranging from basic camera cores (infrared engines) to completely integrated thermal-imaging cameras, subsystems and systems, Opgal’s thermal-imaging solutions are customized to both OEM and end-user requirements. Opgal’s technology is based on an open architecture, which makes suitable for applications such as thermal scope weapon sights and stations, gimbals, UAVs, naval observation, IR sensors, and driver vehicle enhancers (DVEs) for tanks and military vehicles. Realizing each military has its own unique needs, Opgal intimately consults with its customers to create customized solutions that address their specific defense needs.
Thermal Camera Cores
As the largest manufacturer of thermal camera cores outside the US, Opgal offers a wide range of ultra-compact, low-power infrared thermal imaging engines that serve as the core to all of its thermal vision systems. With support for both VOx and ASi microbolometer detectors, Opgal’s thermal cores are ideal for helmet sights, thermal sensors, thermal cameras, long range observation, airborne applications and rifle sights. The modular engines feature powerful proprietary algorithms that are fully tested and have been proven effective in low visibility conditions. Opgal’s line of thermal cores is renowned for its low size, weight and power footprint with the added benefit that they are ITAR-free.
Defense OEM Thermal Night Vision Systems
A range of defense solutions rely on Opgal’s market-leading thermal imaging processing capabilities for successful mission completion. Opgal’s highly affordable and cost-effective infrared cameras are integrated with OEM systems for airborne, ground and naval applications, including: remote weapon stations, military and paramilitary situational awareness, driver vision enhancements, and reconnaissance. Opgal’s products add powerful capabilities to the OEM systems, including anti-blooming mechanisms, proprietary image-processing software algorithms and highly-sensitive IR sensors.
Subsystems
Opgal’s family of IR cameras offer a wide spectrum of features that make them suitable for airborne, ground and naval military applications, including: thermal scope weapon sights and stations, long-range observation, driver vision enhancement, situational awareness and as a vision solution for unmanned vehicles.
Opgal’s lightweight and ruggedized thermal cameras feature advanced algorithms that enable threat detection in total darkness and in low visibility conditions. The cameras can be used standalone or integrated as an OEM solution.
