Photonis showcased its latest night vision sensor innovation at Africa
Aerospace & Defence exhibition (AAD 2014) which took place at Air
Force Base Waterkloof in Centurion, South Africa, from September 17-21.
The INTENS tube offers extended bandwidth sensitivity (from 400-1000 nm)
and improved sensitivity to 100µlx (Night Level 6). |

At
AAD 2014, Photonis was demonstrating the capability of the INTENS in a
black room. Army Recognition was able to experience the quality
of this new night vision sensor which was unveiled for the first time
at Eurosatory this year: No matter the level of darkness simulated (from
full moon night to moon-less overcast night) the INTENS tube provided
excellent image quality thanks to its superior resolution and low noise
level. |
 At AAD 2014, Photonis was demonstrating its latest technology thanks to an AN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device fitted with the INTENS tube. |

According
to Photonis, the new INTENS tube provides a 40% increase in detection,
recognition, and identification (DRI) over previous tubes. INTENS is a
unique intensifier well-suited for Multi-Mission Night Vision; ideal for
use in the darkest mission conditions including deep mountain valleys
and jungle terrain. Detection, recognition and identification of objects and persons in a hostile environment are essential to all deployed forces. Already field proven, INTENS offers end-users access to a superior performance Image Intensifier Tube that is an easily deployed solution for operations in extreme darkness. INTENS comes standard equipped with a state-of-the-art Auto-Gating power supply for operations in very dynamic light conditions and a high contrast green P22 phosphor. Like other PHOTONIS Image Intensifiers, the INTENS is mission ready for integration into equipment of the world’s leading suppliers of optical systems. |
