the Laser Cross Section Measurement and Imaging (LACSMI) System indigenously designed and developed by New Delhi-based Laser Science & Technology Centre (LASTEC) will be delivered to NSTL in Visakhapatnam after the Maritime Exhibition being conducted at the IFR Village.

LASTEC, a DRDO lab, has made a major breakthrough in laser eye technology under Engineering Application of Stealth Technology Project of NSTL. The system will be mounted on the Dolphin’s Nose for surveillance.

The system, which is on display at the DRDO stall at the Maritime Exhibition, is capable of measuring laser signature and generation of 3D laser image of strategic targets in eye safe technology domain range.

“The system is a unique and first of its kind application of lasers in stealth technology,” senior scientist of LASTEC Dr. Ravindra Singh told The Hindu on Monday.

The widely used precision weapons with semi-active laser seekers pose severe threat to strategic targets. The system to measure and record laser signatures is considered a big asset to the nation’s defence.

“We are proud of such indigenous effort and major breakthrough as the technology is at nascent stage world-wide,” Dr. Singh said. LACSMI system consists of compact eye safe laser, laser receiver, dual axis precision scanning, centralised-data depository, 3D image viewing software, motion compensation methodology and automatic video tracking capability.

The system consists of dual axis precision scanning pedestal with payloads and LCS and #D imaging unit, eye safe laser source, laser receiver, controlling and processing unit and motion measurement unit.

IRDE develops advanced 24x7 cams

Dehdradun-based Instruments Research & Development Establishment, one of the labs of DRDO, has designed and developed Stabilised Electro-Optical Sight (SEOS) – a two axis panoramic sight to attain surveillance capability at static and mobile conditions.

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 lab 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.

This means nothing till one knows what is the conditions under which this operates. I am assuming this has a intensifier CCD. But what is the light condition under which it can operate. These systems have been there in the US for more than 20 years. Nothing to boast about.

40 kms is not the night vision capability. This will be more like 2 kms. This at what resolution. Too many questions, before we can jump and say great.
