Multi-Sensor Integrated System (MSIS)
Kollsman's Multi-Sensor Integrated System (MSIS)) is a stabilized, high performance electro-optical system used for observation, surveillance and target tracking and ranging. MSIS has been fielded since 1991 in naval, maritime, ground and airborne installations. Originally designed for naval applications, MSIS is completely qualified for maritime and airborne environments. The 20" diameter turret includes four sensors:
- MWIR staring array FLIR with three FOVs or LWIR scanning array FLIR
- Day Channel CCD with three fields of view
- Laser Range Finder
- Laser Pointer
Operational features and capabilities include:
- Automatic tracking of marine, air and land targets in day and night
- Laser Range Finding at 5 PPS
- Automatic scanning and searching patterns
- Interface to radar, weapon systems, helmet systems, navigation
- Illumination of target with NVG compatible laser
- Battlefield test Human Interface
