Integrating an advanced sensor suite in a less than 8 lbs. package, the GS205 multi-sensor targeting system delivers optimal surveillance and targeting capabilities by combining a high-resolution thermal imager, color daylight camera, laser designator and laser rangefinder. The GS205 system provides Unmanned Aircraft (UA) operators with true day/night reconnaissance and targeting capability in a single unit measuring less than 6 inches in diameter. The GS205’s thermal camera is a state-of-the-art 12 µm pitch cooled mid-wave infrared (MWIR) sensor with three fields of view or an optional single field of view 17 µm pitch uncooled long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensor. The system also includes a color zoom TV, a laser pointer, an optional dual-mode laser rangefinder/designator or an eye-safe laser rangefinder and a robust multi-mode automatic tracker. The automatic tracker eases operator workload during surveillance and targeting operations. The entire package is a single line-replaceable unit, which simplifies both installation and maintenance. The GS205 is ideal for both surveillance and targeting missions on a variety of small unmanned airborne platforms. It has both analog and serial data interfaces allowing for compatibility with most moving map / geo-locating systems and digital data links.

Integrating an advanced sensor suite in a less than 8 lbs. package, the GS205 multi-sensor targeting system delivers optimal surveillance and targeting capabilities by combining a high-resolution thermal imager, color daylight camera, laser designator and laser rangefinder. The GS205 system provides Unmanned Aircraft (UA) operators with true day/night reconnaissance and targeting capability in a single unit measuring less than 6 inches in diameter.

The GS205’s thermal camera is a state-of-the-art 12 µm pitch cooled mid-wave infrared (MWIR) sensor with three fields of view or an optional single field of view 17 µm pitch uncooled long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensor. The system also includes a color zoom TV, a laser pointer, an optional dual-mode laser rangefinder/designator or an eye-safe laser rangefinder and a robust multi-mode automatic tracker. The automatic tracker eases operator workload during surveillance and targeting operations. The entire package is a single line-replaceable unit, which simplifies both installation and maintenance.

The GS205 is ideal for both surveillance and targeting missions on a variety of small unmanned airborne platforms. It has both analog and serial data interfaces allowing for compatibility with most moving map / geo-locating systems and digital data links.
