The new Galil from 2252 Premier Electronics is a powerful day and night multi-sensor observation head especially developed for security applications. It allows medium-range observation and detection using state-of-the-art thermal imaging and CCD technology.

The Galil features the 0.25in 576 Sony FCB-1000 x36 zoom CCD camera for daytime operation, and an uncooled dual field of view thermal imaging camera for day and night operations. According to the company, the use of a zoom CCD camera and dual field of view (45/135mm), auto-focus thermal imager makes it ideal for wide field of view situational awareness and detection. This system also provides narrow field of view medium-range target recognition. The thermal imager can be supplied with either 384x288 or 640x480 pixels, which offer target detection (1.5x0.5m) at up to 2,500m and NATO targets (2.3x2.3m) at 6,200m. The system works in the 8-12µm wavelength range, ideally suited for vision through rain, snow, sand and so on, situations in which standard cameras cannot produce good images. The addition of Enhanced Mode image processing greatly improves the detection rate of possible problems. The Galil is ruggedised and able to withstand the harshest weather and environmental conditions, including rain, direct sunlight, high humidity and dust. Communications are via RS-232, RS-422 and 686 Pelco D. Video output is CCIR or RS-170 from the thermal imager and NTSC or PAL from the camera. The unit works in temperatures from -32 to +50C and can be powered from 9-28V. The camera can be fixed, mounted or integrated into a pan-and-tilt device.
