IRDE develops advanced 24x7 cams - The Hindu
Instruments Research & Development Establishment (IRDE) develops Stabilised Electro-Optical Sight (SEOS) developed for applications like the Arjun Tank
It is designed in such a way that it can be used in different platforms and operational requirements. It comprises laser range finder, CCD camera, thermal imager and automatic video tracker.
The Dehradun-based DRDO lab, Instruments Research & Development Establishment (IRDE) has developed two such systems, which can cover a radius of 40 km without sending any signals – a stealth type vision camera. This can be mounted on a tank, fast moving boat or a fighter aircraft.
VEM Tech, a Hyderabad-based firm, has been outsourced to manufacture the systems for supply to the Defence Ministry.
Big Achievement

Terming it as a big achievement, IRDE Scientist Ram Saran told The Hindu on Monday that full-fledged production of the system would be useful for Akash new generation and Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile System (QRSAM).
He said while foreign vendors sell similar system for around Rs. 12 crore, under ‘Make in India’ programme, they could make it for about Rs.2 crore.
