Technology Spotlight: Imaging Systems for Your Harshest Markets
Through day or night, fog or smoke, DRS Technologies' Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition (RSTA) electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) imaging systems provide visibility in the most extreme and demanding environments.

Headquartered in Parsippany, N.J., and focused on defense technology, the company develops, manufactures and supports a broad range of systems for mission critical and military sustainment requirements as well as Homeland Security. The technology allows warfighters to see what they ordinarily could not see, providing them with critical operational and strategic advantage.

Most recently released as part of its EO/IR product line is the Jalapeno LR+. This infrared surveillance and security system provides color daytime video and 640 x 480 cooled thermal imaging on a pan and tilt mechanism for applications requiring long-range surveillance. It is the first production system to use DRS's high-operating, small pixel HotIR technology. The HotIR technology, which senses in the 3æm-5æm band, allows significantly elevated operating temperature of the HotIR sensor, reducing size and power required for cooling. The small pixel size also helps the unit achieve its low cost, minimal footprint, light weight, ultra-low power and high reliability. DRS packages the 640 x 480 HotIR thermal sensor--which has a reliability of 30,000 operating hours--in a ultra-compact package using patented cooling optimized specifically for the sensor.
