Mobile Surveillance System (MSS)
Kollsman's Mobile Surveillance System (MSS) is designed to provide the reconnaissance commander with a high mobility "detect and inform" surveillance/reconnaissance sensor unit for land forces support. The sensor unit is mounted on a telescoping mast with full command and control located in the vehicle. Imagery is displayed on high performance displays while the sensors are controlled by a versatile hand grip. Sight view and targets are automatically correlated to a digital battlefield map.
The system is designed for rapid set-up and incorporates a quick disconnect feature of the sensor unit to allow it to be remoted up to 50 meters away while being fully controlled from the vehicle control situation. The FLIR/ELRF assembly is mounted with batteries and can also be quickly disconnected for use by soldiers for dismounted hand-held requirements.
Main Features for Mobile Surveillance System:
- Modular configuration
- Day/Night pedestal mounted or hand-held sensors
- Image stabilization
- 4 Meter telescoping mast
- Advanced battlefield management system
- Automatic video motion detection while scanning
Sensor Measurement Equipment:
- 3-5 Micron Thermal Sight
- Eye-safe laser rangefinder
- Continuous zoom low light level camera
- GPS Receiver
- North finding module
- Optional gyro stabilized pedestal
Long-Range Reconnaissance and Observation System (LORROS)
LORROS provides long-range daytime and night-time surveillance from a remote surveillance control and display center. LORROS is designed as a versatile and modular system, thus allowing it to be easily adapted to various configurations appropriate for a wide range of applications.
Applications include:
- Border Surveillance
- Coastal Observation & Surveillance
- Site Security
- Force Protection
- Suspicious Activities (Drug, Terrorism) Reconnaissance
- Artillery Spotting & Ranging
The LORROS sensor unit can be mounted on vehicles or installed on rooftops, on erectable towers, or on tripods and remotely controlled from an existing or new surveillance control center, or via a ruggedized portable control unit. The sensor unit can be remoted up to 100 meters from the control unit or several kilometers via fiber link. Wireless microwave links are possible.
The LORROS has several modes of operation that are selectable and user programmable. Multiple search modes can be pre-programmed and stored for easy recall and use. Modes of operation include:
- Manual slew mode
- Automatic sector scanning pattern & interval
- Automatic slew to preprogrammed targets of interest based on UTM coordinates
- Automatic slew to map coordinate input from external source (Radar, HQ request) to search area and ID suspicious activities
An optional eyesafe laser rangefinder, coupled with accurate built-in compass and inclinometer provide target location to map UTM coordinates that can be provided to interdiction forces.
The LORROS system is currently in service with customers around the world.
Automatic Detection IR System (ADIR)
ADIR provides affordable, state-of-the-art, 24/7, infiltration detection along unsecured perimeters. Using passive infrared sensors that are panoramically scanned, wide areas and perimeters around facilities are provided security protection. Multiple sensors can be linked to a remote security surveillance and control center, to provide complete surveillance coverage of any facility.
Infiltration by humans or vehicles into the protected area is automatically detected and recorded. Alarms notify security personnel and visual images are viewed to verify and identify the infiltration activity for appropriate response and prevention of terrorist activities
Algorithms based on parameters for target temperature, target size, and target motion permit an installation to be programmed for the type of threats to be secured against and eliminate false alarms from normal protected area background activities (moving tree branches, blowing leaves, small animals). Certain areas in the scanned perimeter can be programmed for exclusion (secured walkways or driveways).
ADIR is currently in operation providing security protection at facilities around the world. It is easily installed and adaptable to any facility requirement.

Secure Remote Observation System (SEROS)
SEROS is an affordable, day/night medium range observation system for perimeter defense or area surveillance. Its modular construction allows it to be easily adopted for mounting to various fixed installations, or telescoping vehicle masts. It can be integrated with perimeter intrusion detection systems such as electronic fences or Kollsman's Automatic Detection IR System (ADIR) to provide ID of intrusion activity.
The SEROS sensor unit can be controlled remotely from a portable control unit or surveillance observation control center. Modes of operation include the following:
- Manual slew
- Automatic sector scanning pattern & interval
- Automatic slew and stare at multiple preprogrammed targets of interest
- Directed slew to target of interest based on input from intruder detection system or operator
