Stand-alone Installation for Patrol Boats

@TXT: To be integrated onto its patrol boats, the Philippine Navy has selected Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) MiniPOP for Maritime Applications electro-optics (EO) system, the company announced on 16 May.

Developed by the Systems, Missiles and Space Group, MiniPOP is a lightweight, compact multi-sensor observation system built for maritime applications. It is designed to operate 24/7 in harsh environments, withstanding shock, vibration and extreme temperatures. The payload provides real-time imaging, automatic video tracking, and precise target geo-location capabilities for a stand-alone EO/IR observation system on small and medium sized vessels.

Operational in navies worldwide, MiniPOP builds on IAI’s decades-long heritage in EO technology and its extensive experience in developing EO systems and operational sensors for air, land, and maritime applications.

“This contract for electro-optics systems joins other recent deals between IAI and the Philippine Navy, signifying the expanding cooperation and serving as a testimony to the trust the customer has in IAI’s advanced technologies,” said Boaz Levy, IAI President & CEO.
