VEHICLE-BASED MOBILE SURVEILLANCE
Mobile thermal surveillance for vehicle-based operations
In modern defense and security operations, vehicles -whether manned or unmanned – must operate in visually degraded environments while maintaining full situational awareness. From armored vehicles and convoy protection to autonomous ground patrols, reliable, panoramic thermal surveillance is essential to reduce risks and ensure mission success under all conditions.
Our solution ? SPYNEL-F is a compact panoramic thermal camera designed for real-time surveillance on mobile platforms. Whether integrated into armored vehicles or UGVs, it provides unmatched situational awareness, threat detection, tracking & classification, and sterring assistance, day or night, in motion or on rugged terrain.
Panoramic surveillance needs on armored vehicles

Driver Vision Enhancer (DVE) for armored vehicle driving
Steering an armored vehicle (wheeled or tracked) through combat zones, urban areas, or off-road terrain presents major visibility challenges, especially at night or in degraded visual environments. Drivers need uninterrupted, real-time visibility without compromising protection or stealth. SPYNEL-F serves as a powerful Driver Vision Enhancer, enabling safer and more effective mobility by offering:
- 30 Hz thermal imaging for smooth, real-time driving support
- Day and night operation even in total darkness
- On-the-move video analysis, for automatic detection, tracking and classification with CYCLOPE software
- Passive thermal imaging, undetectable and unjammable
- Wide vertical field of view to identify ditches, slopes, and near-field threats
- No moving parts, ensuring high reliability in vibration-heavy scenarios
SPYNEL-F improves driver awareness significantly, especially when configured in a multi-camera setup to provide a complete 360° view without blind zones.


On-the-Move surveillance and convoy protection
In fast-paced operations or multi-vehicle convoys, situational awareness must go beyond immediate driving support. Crews must detect, classify, and respond to threats in real time, from roadside IEDs to aerial drones.
Equipped with GAIA ArtificiaI Intelligence and the CYCLOPE software suite, SPYNEL-F thermal solution enables:
- 360° thermal monitoring during movement
- Vertical detection capability to monitor threats from ground level to aerial zones (very close and very high)
- On-the-move automatic classification of humans, vehicles, drones, and more
High-frame rate :
- Real-time alerting and tracking for quick reaction
- Improved situational awareness, even in complex operational environments
With SPYNEL-F, armored convoys benefit from continuous threat monitoring, supporting faster reactions, improved coordination, and mission safety.
Panoramic imaging for Unmanned Ground Vehicles


Thermal imaging for navigation and surveillance
Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) require robust, autonomous navigation systems to operate effectively in complex environments. Key needs include automatic path following, obstacle avoidance, and reliable situational awareness in all lighting and weather conditions.
For UGVs operating in surveillance, security, or tactical scenarios, SPYNEL-F delivers compact, low-power capabilities ideal for autonomous or remotely piloted missions:
- Thermal video feed for remote driving and obstacle detection
- Panoramic awareness with extended vertical coverage
- Passive sensing for stealth in dark or GPS-denied zones
- AI-driven object detection via CYCLOPE software
SPYNEL-F enables better UGV navigation and mission execution with minimal operator input, ideal for patrol UGVs in critical infrastructure and police missions.
Technical advantages - Enabling reliable UGV operations in the field
- Low Size, Weight, and Power (low SWaP)
- High autonomy for long-duration deployments
- Shock-resistant for rough terrain
- Fast integration into existing UGV architectures
