DEFENCE
We are a trusted provider to UK defence. We have capabilities to both detect and protect laser threats for defence and security users across land, sea and air.
We provide state-of-the-art tactical laser detection and protection equipment which improves operational performance and safety.
Our dynamic teams of engineers, technologists and scientists collaborate across disciplines to design and manufacture innovative and flexible solutions to meet customers’ needs: to protect and save lives.
We do this by creating products that can detect with a broad range of laser sources, with a high bearing accuracy and against multiple sources simultaneously as well as provide protection to counter both known and and future battlespace threat systems. This will ultimately deliver a tactical advantage, improving battlefield and mission effectiveness.
Snipers & Surveillance, dismounts and light combat vehicles
Sentinel Photonics’ laser detection and protection equipment protects dismounted soldiers and equipment against a wide array of laser threats. When a laser strike is detected, immediate warning can be given to operators via a range of available alert mechanisms, either to trigger appropriate countermeasures or to record important battlespace intelligence. LASERD® can also instantly measure a laser’s parameters, outputting: laser type, wavelength, power, location and pulse pattern. LASERD® can therefore share detailed information with external devices regarding the location and exact nature of visible and invisible battlespace laser sources including beamriders, rangefinders, designators, illuminators and LIDAR. This ultimately improves battlefield and mission effectiveness and saves lives.
Integrated warning systems on heavy armoured vehicles
LASERD® sensor modules area available for integration into battlespace platforms. By integrating with existing vehicle data systems, LASERD® can instantaneously generate and distribute actionable warning information to aid with the defeat of various laser-enabled threats such as beamriders and precision-guided munitions.
Standalone LASERD® sensors can also be retrofitted to existing armoured platforms to provide an ad hoc, rapid, defensive sensing capability without the need for a lengthy and expensive integration process.
Description
Sentinel Photonics’ laser detection and protection equipment protects aircrew and air platforms against a wide array of laser threats. When a laser strike is detected, immediate warning can be given to operators via a range of available alert mechanisms, either to warn aircrew of hazardous laser radiation, trigger appropriate countermeasures or to record important battlespace intelligence. LASERD® can also instantly measure a laser’s parameters, outputting: laser type, wavelength, power, location and pulse pattern. LASERD® can therefore share detailed information with external devices regarding the location and exact nature of visible and invisible battlespace laser sources including pointers, beamriders, rangefinders, designators, illuminators and LIDAR. This ultimately improves airspace and mission effectiveness and saves lives.
