Aviation Systems

Full line of qualified shutters for Airborne Thermal Imaging and Laser System mission equipment

The aviation operational environment demands the employment of multiple technologies all assimilated into cohesive mission equipment packages for both manned and unmanned systems. Brandstrom Instruments offers aviation system shutter solutions for integration into the full range of thermal imaging, multi spectral, laser transmitter, laser ranger finder and laser designator applications, including:

• Image fusion of Long Wave IR and Short wave IR technologies
• Higher resolution LWIR and SWIR sensors
• UAV Hyperspectural Imaging
• Common Airborne Sensor Program
• Advanced Distributed Aperture Systems 360˚ view around the aircraft
• Pilot navigation systems for tactical and urban environments
• Pilot’s vision enhancement for adverse operational environments such as brown out conditions

Unmanned Air Vehicle Applications

UAV payloads consist of multi technology sensors enabling the UAV to operate in all weather and atmospheric conditions. Near IR (NIR), Short Wave IR (SWIR) and Long Wave IR (LWIR) sensors all require shutters to protect high value sensors from damage due to prolonged exposure to solar radiation. Our shutters are designed for airborne applications and are the ideal solution for this demanding environment of extreme temperatures and vibration.
