EAGLE <br />
GROUND-BASED <strong>EO</strong>/IR IMAGING SYSTEM<br />
SONOMA EAGLE<br />
STABILIZED IMAGING SYSTEMS<br />
The <strong>Sonoma</strong> Eagle ultra high-performance <strong>EO</strong>/IR<br />
stabilized imaging system is designed for long-range<br />
surveillance and reconnaissance on shipborne and<br />
ground-based platforms. <strong>Sonoma</strong>’s Eagle combines<br />
precision stabilization technology, X-Mast ,<br />
long focal length and shared aperture Hydra <br />
lenses to ensure mission success through increased<br />
stand-off and excellent image clarity.<br />
KEY FEATURES<br />
• Unmatched stabilization maximizes imaging<br />
performance<br />
• Shared aperture Hydra-11 , 11-inch<br />
telescope in both visible and IR saves space<br />
and weight<br />
• Integral laser rangefinder<br />
• Ruggedized gimbal electronics box (GIB)<br />
offers additional image processing<br />
functionality<br />
• Target detection capabilities out to 55 miles<br />
• SMPTE 292/296 HD-SDI digital outputs<br />
• Slew-to-cue capabilities for integration<br />
with multi-source correlator tracker<br />
• Autofocus<br />
• Auto-tracking<br />
