Special Forces Protection solutions based on 360° infrared panoramic camera
Temporary surveillance for Special Forces
Special Forces around the world rely on state-of-the-art equipment to maintain a tactical advantage in their operations, ensuring the safety of their units and achieving mission objectives effectively. Infrared panoramic cameras, such as SPYNEL, play a crucial role in this tactical toolkit
Special Forces Protection: Main Challenges
Overseas missions to be secured
In hostile territory, where the installation of security systems is risky: Given the unpredictable nature of OPEX regions, security infrastructure requires adaptive solutions that can withstand not just environmental extremes but also potential sabotage. Deploying robust, tamper-proof systems that can function in diverse terrains arid deserts or dense jungles—is paramount to maintaining a protective perimeter around valuable assets and personnel.
Use passive means to avoid detection by the enemy
Radar solutions are prohibited because they are active and easily detectable by the electromagnetic waves they emit: stealth is crucial in covert operations. Modern surveillance solutions often employ passive infrared or acoustic sensors, which, unlike radars, do not emit signals. By merely “listening” or “watching” without broadcasting, these passive systems can glean critical information without giving away their location or even their presence.
Quick deployment & Low Power consumption
The surveillance systems must be light and compact enough to be easily carried during missions: Weight and space are at a premium during missions. Modern military tech focuses on miniaturization without compromising functionality. Carbon-fiber constructions, compact optics, and integrated electronics all contribute to creating surveillance tools that are both lightweight and high-performing, making them ideal for foot patrols, recon missions, or rapid response scenario
Special Forces Protection: Main Threats
Threats in isolated / desert areas
During overseas missions, the Special Forces team need to secure, without being detected, a large area for temporary surveillance against unforeseen enemies. Exposing a 360° infrared camera could allow the Forces not to expose themselves to danger by avoiding a risky zone.
Surveillance system must be deployed either on the ground (mounted on a tripod) or on a vehicle.
Special event security, VIP procession
Secure a presidential or VIP procession against the potential attack of a lone wolf or terrorist group.
Special Forces Protection Solution
With Spynel Panoramic Infrared Cameras
HGH Infrared Systems has developed an innovative panoramic solution detecting and categorizing long-range threats. The SPYNEL infrared camera range protects any kind of critical infrastructures or military assets thanks to a 360° camera. Fully passive, the SPYNEL camera ensures real-time panoramic video and automatic detection, classification & tracking.
How to protect Special forces in open field?
Why Choosing Spynel for Special Forces Protection?
Fully Passive Solution – From Detection to Reaction
The use of SPYNEL cameras provides ground forces a fully passive solution. This solution can be deployed in just a few minutes and remain undetectable by the enemy. SPYNEL provides azimuth/elevation angle to localize precisely the direction of the targets.
360-Degree Situational Awareness
The SPYNEL Infrared Camera offers unparalleled 360-degree coverage, eliminating blind spots and providing comprehensive situational awareness for ground-based air defense systems.
Lightweight, Mobile, Low Power Consumption Thermal Surveillance Sensor
SPYNEL-M, a representative of this technology, is designed to be lightweight (2kg only), mobile, and boasts low power consumption. This makes it an ideal thermal surveillance sensor for deployment on fast-deployable masts or tripods, without compromising operational efficiency.
Automatic Detection & Classification Algorithms
To enhance surveillance capabilities, advanced algorithms such as deep-learning algorithms, can be employed to automatically detect, track and classify multiple ground and maritime objects within the whole panorama. This helps reduce the workload on human operators and ensures swift responses to potential threats.
Weather Resistance
Special Forces Protection cameras are typically designed to withstand harsh coastal environments, including exposure to saltwater, high winds, and extreme temperatures. This ensures their reliability and longevity in these challenging conditions.
Data Storage and Retrieval
Recorded 360° videos can be stored for later analysis and investigation. This historical data can be valuable for forensic purposes, incident analysis, and reporting.
