Hawkeye DS

www.chess-dynamics.com

Hawkeye is a family of advanced multi-sensor surveillance systems. The systems

provide comprehensive 24 hour surveillance and target identification to a range of

operational scenarios and tactical applications.

The Hawkeye family of systems employs the latest image processing and system

automation techniques to reduce dependence upon operator skill, thereby reducing

workload and training requirements.

Hawkeye has been designed to significantly reduce through life costs when

compared to similar systems. This has been achieved through:

• Increased reliability

• Minimal routine maintenance

• Reduced training by employing a high level of automated operation

• Modular design ensuring supportability in the field

Hawkeye SystemsLand Based Surveillance Systems

Hawkeye DS solutions can be deployed as independent surveillance assets or part

of a larger networked solution. Hawkeye can be integrated with a wide selection

of ground surveillance radars. In this configuration Hawkeye and the associated

radar are mounted on tripods/Quadpods or a short quad mast. Control is achieved

through the use of ruggedised GRIP PCs with TCP/IP outputs, allowing for local

and/or networked control.

All Hawkeye variants are environmentally sealed and modular in design, to enable

full maintenance in the field. This greatly reduces operational downtime associated

with other ‘return to factory systems’. Each system is fitted with quick release covers

that provide an outer level of weather protection, as well as access to the sensors

for general maintenance. In addition, sun shields, heat dissipaters and automatic

lens covers can be fitted for enhanced protection, especially for operations in harsh

climates.

Applications:

• Local/remote surveillance/observation

• Special Forces

• Event security

• Anti-terrorism

• Border control
