BARRINGTON: The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) awarded Recon Optical a contract to supply its CA-295 high-altitude, dual spectral band, digital reconnaissance camera for installation in a RTAF aircraft. The contract also includes a digital display system, field service engineering and logistics support.
The CA-295 digital reconnaissance system is based upon Recon Optical's patented framing technology operating simultaneously in both the visible and infrared spectral bands. Recon Optical's digital framing technology allows any aircraft to capture imagery during high-speed tactical maneuvers in a framing format, providing high fidelity intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) data previously not available from tactical platforms.
“Recon Optical and the RTAF have been partners for many years. The reconnaissance systems ROI has provided to the RTAF over the past 30 years have performed well, and have provided high-quality ISR capabilities to help preserve the security of the country of Thailand and its people,” said Roy England, Recon Optical's Director for International Business Development. “World events dictate a much higher level of protection, making this new, cutting-edge capability vital to Thailand's security. We are proud of this partnership, and are looking forward to our continued relationship with the RTAF.”
Recon Optical, in continuous operation since 1922, is based in Barrington, Illinois, USA. The company is a global leader in the design, development, integration and production of advanced digital reconnaissance cameras and systems for the visible and infrared spectra; stabilized, remotely controlled weapon systems; multispectral optics and windows; stabilized chemical detection scanners; and sighting systems. Recon Optical currently supports products in over 30 countries worldwide.
