The SPECTRO XR EO system will be integrated onboard a variety of maritime platforms.
The system offers enhanced intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) capabilities to naval, air and land forces, both during day and night and under low visibility conditions, such as fog, humidity, smoke, haze and dust.
Equipped with artificial intelligence, SPECTRO XR uses multi-target video tracking, moving target indication and video motion detection to scan for targets continuously, extract operational insights, and cut down human error.
Elbit Systems ISTAR and EW co-general manager Oren Sabag said: “We see a growing demand for the SPECTRO XR system as Naval and Air Forces increasingly seek advanced ISTAR solutions with the unique capacity to maintain superior terrain dominance even in challenging visibility conditions.”
