Electro-Optics (Elop Ltd), an Elbit Systems Ltd subsidiary, has been selected by the Israeli Defense Forces as the supplier of MARS – a thermal imaging and target acquisition system.
MARS is a hand-held next-generation thermal imager that operates using un-cooled sensor technology.
In addition, the system combines a laser range-finder, GPS, compass, day channel and recording system.
MARS is especially suited for the individual soldier, infantry forces and special units due to its advanced observation and target acquisition capabilities, its light weight and low power consumption.
