LIVAR M506

Intevac’s Laser Illuminated Viewing and Ranging (LIVAR®) is a high sensitivity short wave infrared (SWIR) gated camera utilizing Intevac’s patented EBAPS® technology. It is a readily adaptable solution for a host of long range targeting and identification requirements and provides both day and night coverage. The LIVAR M506 camera is a natural addition for ground vehicles, airborne or maritime platforms already equipped with a thermal or other moving target indicator (MTI).

LIVAR is ideal for covert operations and positive target identification. The camera’s small, rugged CMOS silicon imaging sensor works in conjunction with an eye-safe laser as an active illumination source and an MTI or Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) for long range target identification. Once the MTI detects a threat at range, the laser is fired at the target. LIVAR sets the gate range for target location and the laser fires repeatedly capturing the imagery of the illuminated target. Then, via a Camera Link, HOTLink™ or RS170 digital video interface, LIVAR outputs a digital stream of high resolution images for positive identification of the observed target. The camera’s eye-safe feature enables warfighters to safely engage targets using extended range weapon systems. LIVAR increases weapon system effectiveness and reduces the risk of unintended civilian casualties and fratricide.

The LIVAR camera requires a high voltage power supply (HVPS) and thermo-electric cooler (TECC) for operation which are available in various configurations depending upon the application.

With its small form factor and easy integration into existing electro-optical targeting systems, the LIVAR M506 offers system integrators an unmatched, cost-effective long range targeting and identification camera.
