Rostec Telecamera to work in low visibility conditions

2022: Camera Announcement

On May 31, 2022, Roselektronika announced the creation of a new television camera that is capable of working in low visibility conditions. The new product was developed by the St. Petersburg Central Research Institute "Electron," which is part of the holding.

According to the press service of Rostec (Roselectronics is part of this state corporation), the highly sensitive camera is built on a hybrid vacuum-semiconductor principle. This allowed to reduce the amount of noise interference and increase the resolution of monitoring equipment.

In Russia, created a video surveillance camera for snow or sand storms

The device allows you to increase the range of passive surveillance systems in conditions of poor visibility by 2.5 times, and when using laser illumination - up to 20 km. The product is light in weight and can be used in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), manned aircraft, as well as ground surveillance systems.

The device is capable of detecting objects with high accuracy in difficult weather conditions and in poor visibility, for example, at dusk, snow or sand storm. When using laser illumination, the range of the camera is up to 20 km, - said Alexey Vyaznikov, General Director of the Central Research Institute "Electron."

It is noted that the equipment can be used in the Arctic zone, for monitoring power grids, as well as night search and rescue operations

According to the head of the Central Research Institute "Electron," the device is distinguished by a high sensitivity to ultra-weak infrared radiation, which solid-state photodetectors do not have. Vyaznikov added that by the end of May 2022, the first samples of the product were created, which were successfully tested. At the same time, he did not name the timing of the product's entry into the mass market, as well as its cost.^[1]
