Optical Sensor
The Multi Sensor Platform MSP 500 is a sensor system which is stabilized with high precision and is used by day and by night for the detection, observation and identification of objects and for target tracking and fire control. The MSP 500 consists of a stabilized sensor package with a thermal camera and daylight camera, a 6 Hz laser rangefinder, a video tracker as well as a vertical sensor and north sensor. Specifically designed for day- and night-time operation, it can also be used in adverse weather conditions. Compact and lightweight, the MSP 500 can be easily integrated into existing systems.
Design and protection
The Multi Sensor Platform MSP 500 is mounted at the rear of a G-Class Mercedes 4x4 light tactical vehicle. The Electro Optical (EO) sensor provides passive cueing data to the FDC (Fire Distribution Center) for passive engagements. The sensor is actively stabilized and is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) and North Finding Unit, thus highly maneuverable, flexible and easy to deploy. The EO sensor is remotely controlled and operated from the FDC. A power generator is mounted at the rear of the vehicle. a spare wheel si available at the rear of the crew cabin. In travel position the Multi Sensor Platform MSP 500 is lowered within a small shelter mounted at the rear of the G-Class vehicle chassis.

Mobility
The NASAMS Electro Optical sensor is mounted on the chassis of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class (4 × 4) light vehicle. The front of the vehicle is fitted with a crew cabin for two military personnel including driver and commander. The layout of the base G-class light tactical vehicle is conventional, with the engine at the front. Driver and passenger sit immediately behind the engine and cargo compartment at the rear. The vehicle is motorized with a OM 602 DE29LA 2.874 litre 5-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled water-cooled diesel engine developing 120 hp at 3,800 rpm. The G-class vehicle uses suspension with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers, front and rear. Both axles are located by 1 transverse and 2 longitudinal control links. It can run at a maximum road speed of 138 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 800 km.
Combat use
The EO System is employed for the following tasks:
- Passive engagements
- Passive surveillance
- Raid and kill assessment
- Skin track verification
- Verification of external tracks from Higher Echelon Unit
- Establishing tracks and engagement data
- Jammer verification.
