Blighter has unveiled a new man-portable radar camera.
The Blighter Explorer Nexus "is a compact, lightweight and low power all weather surveillance solution and comprises the Blighter B202 Mk2 e-scan micro Doppler ground surveillance radar, an integrated visible and infra-red thermal imaging camera system, a Windows HMI [human machine interface], covert eyepieces and optional rugged laptop. The product is designed for fully covert operation with a 'silent' mode and zero light emissions," according to a company news release.
The system can detect a crawling person at a range of almost a mile and a moving vehicle at 5 miles.
"Our new system is designed for covert foot patrol deployment in specially designed transport backpacks with the radar and camera sensors mounted on a single tripod," Blighter CEO Mark Radford said. "This means wide area detection can be up and running in a matter of minutes providing immediate protection for the military or black ops personnel."
