More than ever, situational awareness is a key factor to fleet protection. The current marine battlefield is constantly evolving, as latest-generation technologies emerge. Threats are multiplying and take various forms. To answer the growing needs in terms of embedded Infrared Search and Track systems required by worldwide navies, HGH Infrared Systems provides an IRST solution based on the SPYNEL wide area surveillance camera: a passive early warning system embedded on your ship for a 360° protection against asymmetrical threats.
The rise of new technologies urge naval forces to adapt their defence, detection and threat-tracking capabilities. Low air targets such as missiles, drone swarms, and other fast approaching threats such as RHIBS make it difficult for current surveillance sensors to ensure a full protection of the vessel.
In order to provide a robust warship protection HGH Infrared Systems allows to set up a full panoramic 3D defensive bubble. An adapted IRST must be implemented to the vessel’s existing security system, provided that they meet certain requirements: The IRST should be fully passive, in order to be undetectable by the enemy. It should be adapted to rough sea conditions, thanks to an effective gyrostabilization. The IRST should also enable a quick reaction time, thanks to an automatic data fusion into the vessel’s Combat Management System.
The HGH InfraRed Search and Track system is an exceptional choice when it comes to safeguarding yourself and your assets, as it provides superior protection against threats on both air and surface.
This innovative system relies on fully passive infrared technology, which guarantees unparalleled reliability in detecting, tracking, and classifying potential threats from any direction.
Thanks to its proven effectiveness at sea, it is the preferred choice for those looking to secure their surface vessels against potential risks. The HGH InfraRed Search and Track system is built around the remarkable SPYNEL-X camera that boasts cutting-edge performance, while incorporating the CYCLOPE Hypervisor‘s top-tier data fusion technology. This integrated approach ensures that you get a complete and comprehensive surveillance solution tailor-made to meet your requirements.
The two SPYNEL-X sensors can be fixed on either side of the mast, or on the bow and stern of the vessel, creating a 360° protective bubble around your ship.
The data is fused by CYCLOPE Hypervisor, our supervision software collecting and displaying, on a single workstation, all the threats automatically detected and tracked by multiple SPYNEL sensors.
The processed data is transferred to your combat management system for quick decision making.
Warship protection: easy to deploy and to integrate on board
SPYNEL-X is the InfraRed Search & Track system with the highest image resolution and longest detection range on the market : one sensor can detect a RHIB located at up to 15km, and a ship at up to 30km.
Warship protection is of utmost importance in ensuring the safety and security of national waters and borders. Having the right tools for this task is crucial, and that’s where the SPYNEL-X camera comes in. The SPYNEL-X is not just any ordinary camera system – it is an InfraRed Search & Track system with the highest image resolution and longest detection range currently available on the market. With its powerful sensor, the SPYNEL-X is capable of identifying a RHIB located at up to 15km away, and even a ship at a distance of up to 30km. This remarkable range and image resolution make it an ideal tool for surveillance and tracking, enabling warships to identify and track potential threats from far away, promoting a quicker reaction time and ultimately providing better protection for the naval vessel and its crew. The SPYNEL-X camera is a game-changer in the field of warship protection and is a must-have for any naval fleet looking to enhance their security measures.
