Exploratory and applied studies carried out at the Institute in recent years have given rise to the development of optoelectronic devices and laser systems for defense applications, among which are:
- an airborne digital multispectral scanner capable of simultaneously recording images in several spectral range from 0.3 to 12.5 µm. It has low weight compact optics and a scanning angle of up to 120 degrees. These parameters make this system attractive for low-altitude platforms, including pilotless vehicles;
- a model of an IR direction-finder with an all-around looking in azimuth based on a catadioptric spherical lens;
- a multifunctional optical system performs scanning and detection of air threat targets. The basis for it is a program-controlled optomechanical system, acting as an IR direction-finder with a circular system and a forward looking infrared system (FLIR). It contains a built-in laser radar, which shares a common optics with an IR direction-finder;
- a direction-finder with a panoramic observation to detect laser radiation and to determine angular coordinates of the laser source of illumination;
- basic units of locators are based on electrooptic scanning of radiation diagram (STLM and area imager).
