At the DSEI exhibition in London, HENSOLDT presented TAROSS, a new electro-optical sensor system designed for target acquisition and reconnaissance.
TAROSS is a modular and scalable system that can be fitted to remote weapon stations, medium-calibre turrets, light reconnaissance vehicles, and unmanned ground platforms. It can directly interface with HENSOLDT’s Ceretron system and is designed for integration into both current and future vehicle and weapon platforms.
According to the company, the system enables reconnaissance and target engagement from a distance, reducing risk to personnel. “Our troops must be equipped with reliable, mission-proven and battle-tested capabilities in the areas of intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR),” said Josef Reif, Product Manager for the TAROSS system family.
The system is available in various configurations, including options for cooled and uncooled thermal imaging cameras and a fully stabilised pan-tilt unit. TAROSS can also be customised with different sensor sets depending on mission requirements.
Built with a modern hardware and software architecture, TAROSS is intended to support future developments in connectivity and software-defined defence. It is designed to enhance the “sensor-to-shooter” process in military operations by combining optical performance with adaptability.
