The Maltese Armed Forces has awarded a contract to SELEX Galileo to deliver two Janus naval (Janus-N) electro-optic observation and fire control panoramic sights for installation on its patrol boats.
Part-financed by the External Borders Funds 2011 (EBF), SELEX will deliver the system in support of the upgrade of maritime squadron fast response craft.
SELEX Galileo’s electro-optics land and naval senior vice president Mauro Gori said: "The Janus-N helps strengthen our customer’s surveillance capabilities and improves the situational awareness of those who are called upon to make decisions."
Derived from the successful Janus land-sight, the Janus-N is equipped with a stabilised multi-sensor turret that contains a day (TV) camera and a night (IR) camera.
