MSP-Marine is a day and night multi sensor observation head, especially developed for naval and marine applications. The system provides continuous 360° horizontal and ±45° vertical camera positioning with high levels of gyro and image stabilisation.

Using thermal imaging and Sony CCD day TV technology, MSP-Marine includes an uncooled dual field of view (45mm / 135mm) thermal imaging camera for day and night operation.

MSP-Marine is rugged and designed to withstand marine operating conditions, including rain, direct sunlight, high humidity with marine grade connectors and environmental seals.
