Plasan from Israel unveils new Sandcat surveillance and reconnaissance vehicle Milipol 2013 2311135.

The new Plasan Sandcat surveillance vehicle is equipped with a surveillance aerostat fitted with camera that can see 360 degrees. The vehicle equipment includes also specific mission systems to support intelligence collection, tracking and support.

A telescopic mast is mounted at the rear top side of the vehicle which is also fitted with surveillance and reconnaissance systems.

System integration is critical for efficient operation, minimizing cross-domain interference and optimizing operation, with command, control and secure communications facilitating operation with a minimal crew.

The Plasan Sandcat vehicle can be protected or unprotected, depending on the operational environment. Typically, protection from ballistic, blast and IED threats would secure vehicle operation in hot border regions.

Off-road mobility supports mobile observation and rapid response along terrestrial and maritime borders. Such vehicles enable security forces and border guards to beef up certain sectors or shift operational weight along the border as required.
