ASELSAN unveiled the next-generation air surveillance and targeting gimbal sight “MEROPS” (Multi-spectral Extended Range Optical Sight) at Eurosatory 2022. The payload is designed for UAV and rotary-wing air platforms. The system is designed to perform under smoke and dust. It prioritizes medium and short-wave thermal to support dawn and dusk operations. These features make the MEROPS targeting adverse sight conditions an operational asset with enhanced performance.
The vision incorporates the latest in image processing technologies, including traditional image enhancement and machine vision and AI-based algorithms, as well as mission enhancement capabilities such as moving target identification, isotherms, false colour identification and threat identification.
