Some problems an adavantages with IR sensor based systems making them suitable for certain tasks more.

Since its passive it can be installed frontlines without being detected. Ofcourse satellites are a problem but continiously changing location, digital-pixelated-camouflage etc. can reduce that threat.

One disadvantage is mechanical scanning and single target engagement in most of these systems. Mechanical scanning may need queing by another system a radar for example to get the target in shorter time. For drones it is not necessary though since drones have audio signature and lower speeds-altitudes although they have lower ir signatures. Single target engagement is not a big problem if the system is used for point defense and not area defense considering the system is passive and not easily detectable from above.

Some high altitude short range weapons that can be used against drones or planes at frontlines that can be attached to these sensors:

this one is cheap and can be camouflaged and towed away by other vehicles. 120mm guns also exist having a higher altitude.

For a missile a variant/local copy of 57E6 missile can do the job effectively in my opinion. I dont favor the pantsyr as a system with its shortcomings but its rocket can be modified to be taken out and attached to other local built systems.
The rocket weighs about 80kg and has 15000m altitude making it a man portable high altitude system if attached to a lightweight or towable electro optical sensor. High altitude stinger you may well call it.

Medium range:

Systems scanning problem with IR-electro optical stations can be reduced with advance and improvement of ir focal plane arrays. Also laser range finder wont be necessary if 3 of such high performance passive sensors are used separated from each other just like GPS satellites. For high ir signature targets like jet fighters the target can be identified by all 3 sensors and the difference between them can compute azimuth, elevation and range of the target. It is just an idea but it can be experimented though in my opinion if you have high performance passive IR sensors. Somewhat similar to radio locator Kulchuga system but working in infrared mode instead of radio location mode.
The target data can be fed to low performance individual electrooptical systems to track and hit the targets by their own.

Other option is Radars in scanning mode can be made more LPI with known lpi methods like frequency hopping, keying etc. as it does not focus its energy to track individual targets. Rough target data can be fed to individual electro optical systems like the 50km example "sepehr 14" to track and make the kill shot.

Also laser range finder is limited to about 20km range. A radar range finder with a narrow sharp beam won't be detected by the enemy and won't have range limitation. You dont need to continiously open the range finder as well. After initial range data measurement and continious infrared signature update of the target the range can be estimated but with less accuracy depending on the IR sensor. But if the radar range finder beam is narrow enough you can keep it open as your position is not revealed without sacrificing accuracy.

bro in fact iran did similar thing with the combination of RU420D (the above mentioned laser range finder), TIC-S-2 (the IR sensor whit 150 km range) and KS-19 cannon. the resulting system was sa'er anti aircraft cannon:

Too cool bro!
yeah it's really cool, i first thought it's just an RCWS but it has autonomous mode too. however i really hope they designed it well because it's so not cool if it mistakes you with enemy.:hang2:

You can do this IR sensor + laser rangefinder + aa-gun/missile for a short range system. What I am thinking about is a medium range system 40-50 km range(hawk,buk,patriot type of longer range missile) which is unlocatable by enemy elint.

You can use a lpi radar(very low sidelobes, frequency hopping, pulse compression, fmcw etc..) to scan-detect targets. This gives the rough position data for IR sensor to acquire and track the target to launch missiles. Continious tracking should be done by IR system to not to disclose radar location. Laser rangefinder is limited to 20-25km range. Radar pencil beam range finder can have more range without getting detected.
 
RU20F fire fighters IR sensor

1471682117.jpg


during a major fire incident in buildings, most of the access areas will be filled with smoke and blocked with fell ceiling and walls. in this scenarios fire fighters need a device to see through smoke and identify the obstacles and injured and trapped people. RU20F will help them to fulfill their duties and rescue people.
features:
-identifying the source of fire
-capable in fire fighting missions
-capable in rescue missions
-large display screen with high resolution
-highly sensitive to temperature
-determining the temperature
-capable of recording video and capturing pictures
-periodic assessment of building status and preventing fire break outs

Another thing that came to my mind about this issue is the transfer of mentioned high altitude but smaller size cheaper weapons like KS19 gun or 57E6-copy lightweight missiles.

If the transfer is made in batches it will be detected by spy satellites and surgical strikes can be made by israel or other countries under its influence.

The Ks19 gun for example can be produced in pieces that can be assembled in its destination just like sniper rifles for example in Labennon or Palestine . The pieces can be transferred with less probability of being detected from spy sats-uavs above and can be assembled in destination with some technical expertise.

Larger optical-infrared targeting system is more difficult to transfer but for slower targets like drones or helicopters it wont be necessary. If added as a bonus ofcourse it has some probability to hit aircraft as well. As long as of course they are used with shoot-scoot type of hit-run attacks continiously towed-carried somewhere else along with tunnels as escape routes of users. Even the weapons can be dissassembled and carried inside tunnels. Larger parts that cannot be carried can be camouflaged easily to be assembled later somewhere else. These systems can be used somewhat like anti air ieds.
