TAROSS
Target Acquisition & Reconnaissance Optronical Sighting SystemThe challenge
For military operations to be successful they must be based on accurate intelligence, effective targeting and precise engagement. Reconnaissance and targeting are critical components of any military scenario, involving terrain inspection and gathering information deep within potentially hostile territory.
Performing these tasks from a safe distance is essential for achieving the mission and ensuring personnel safety; this replies on advanced technology and tactics.
To meet this challenge, your troops need reliable, mission-approved, combat-proven Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) capabilities. Once targets have been identified, forces can use precision-guided weapons to eliminate them with minimal collateral damage.
The chosen solution must be modular and scalable, and the platform employed must be capable of performing in both manned and unmanned scenarios.
