The SLD 500 counter snipers system
The SLD 500 counter snipers systems combines top of the art camera and laser technology to provide a reliable sensor for day/night detection. The SLD 500 builds on the SLD 400 counter snipers system, which was developed at the request of the French Armed Forces facing the threat of snipers in Sarajevo during the Balkan’s crisis.
Recently, CILAS has delivered two SLD 500 counter snipers systems to the US Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) and to security forces in the Middle East. The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL) intends to test in depth the capabilities of this system before using it to protect the US Forces engaged in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The system can detect and locate any kind of optical sight system before shooting. Not only it is capable of accurately pinpointing a threat, the system can also perform clear target identification using a high definition daylight camera or an infrared camera for night vision. The system has a remote broadcast unit, giving a real-time target location information to the forces in view of a rapid and appropriate action.
CILAS counter sniper system can be coupled to external sensors such as acoustic detectors, thermal camera, movement sensors and others depending of the needs.
It can be mounted on vehicle.
CILAS, expert in laser and optronics technologies, has developed, manufactured and marketed a wide range of products and systems for defence and civilian and military security, large-scale scientific laser programmes, and scientific and industrial instrumentation. With a turnover of 28 million euros, CILAS employs 150 people on 2 sites in France.
