IR Illuminator

ISTEC have designed and developed a rugged, standalone IR Illuminator for integration onto military vehicles. The rugged design can combine with night vision goggles, or low light cameras, to improve visibility while maintaining a covert presence during operations.

The compact unit can be configured to suit varying tactical requirements with 850 or 940nm IR emitters, and a variety of optics ranging from a 9° FOV ‘spot’ to a >100° FOV ‘flood’ using custom lenses. Two banks of two emitters, controlled by individual isolated enable lines, allow for mixed configurations and the inclusion of more traditional visible spectrum LEDs. The simple interface allows for mounting to any vehicle and the inbuilt filtering means the unit can operate off a variety of supplies, while remaining EMC compliant.
