The 360° Local Situational Awareness System (LSAS) from KTK Kommunikationstechnik and First Sensor consists of four digital HDR-CMOS cameras in specially adapted rugged housings and a software-based video processing unit. The system approach enables easy integration into a wide range of military or civil vehicles. The robust, high-performance cameras from First Sensor feature a very wide dynamic range >100 dB for difficult lighting conditions and withstand the harshest environmental conditions such as cold, heat and permanent vibrations. Easily integrated in various operating and image processing systems, the platform-independent, flexible area view software can be adapted to customer requirements. The LSAS also can be customized to a wide range of applications such as military and commercial vehicles, special vehicles, as well as agricultural, construction and mining machines. Pictured is the camera itself that is used in the LSAS. For more information, visit www.first-sensor.com.
