The TORNADO-ER is an advanced IR system designed to automatically detect and acquire land and maritime targets. As an electro-optical panoramic scanning and automatic target detection system, Tornado-ER can also be used for maritime traffic control, particularly in dense waters.

The technology is capable of providing a 360 panoramic infrared (IR) image, which gets updated continuously every three seconds with automatic and simultaneous detection of any moving targets in the water. The TORNADO-ER System provides a unique solution by using highly sensitive sensors and advanced Real-time video algorithms.

Featuring two thermal imaging IR cameras, Tornado-ER is passive and insensitive to RF jamming and can be used either as a standalone, or combined with external systems.

IR cameras provide real-time, panoramic image from short to long distances up to the horizon.

The system enables simultaneous target detection of moving objects such as swimmers, vessels of all sizes, small vessels on the background of larger vessels, and small floating objects.
