IAI introduces Huntereye: target acquisition and cueing system [VIDEO]

By Arie Egozi

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is offering a solution for the vulnerability of tanks from warheads dropped by multi-rotor drones. This problem forced the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) to come up with an interim solution dubbed "Cope Cage" - a metal net welded to the upper part of the tank to protect the IDF's Merkava 4 main battle tanks (MBT).

 

These metal nets are designed to set off anti-tank charges dropped from above before they come into contact with the tank itself.

This interim solution is effective to a point, but more advanced protection systems are now being evaluated.

 

 

Elta, the electronic division of IAI, is offering a tailored solution for this problem: the ELI-3312 Huntereye.

This is a family of compact target acquisition sensors for target acquisition and cueing, designed to be installed on light to heavy Remote Weapon Stations (RWS) and Main Battle Tanks (MBT).

The ELI-3312 Huntereye system detects, classifies, and tracks fire sources and provides real-time situational awareness.

The system combines the capabilities of two main sensors into a single sensor system: a ground surveillance radar for immediate detection and identification, and an embedded Electro-Optical (EO) fire source sensor, installed on an integrated Remote Weapon Station (RWS). The system is modular and can be easily adapted to various weapon stations and guns.
