driving assistance and security system

CAYMAN

The driving assistance system CAYMAN has been developed to actively support the vehicle (including armored vehicles, combat tanks, SP artillery mounts etc.) in critical driving situations. The system‘s main purpose is continuous monitoring of the vehicle surroundings to detect potentially dangerous situations early and help drivers of tactical wheeled vehicles avoid accidents. Moreover, the system supports safe driving when headlights are off in total darkness. The system is built with more rugged components to navigate unstructured environments.

CAYMAN consists of 4 hybrid cameras mounted on the vehicle‘s body (in front, at the rear and on each side), providing a complete overview of the surroundings and keeping the vehicle from straying from its pathway or hitting the obstacles in its blind spot. Each camera has a daily channel with a high-quality CMOS detector and a thermal imaging channel equipped with a high-sensitivity passive long-range infrared receiver (LWIR) that allows the driver to monitor the situation in all weather conditions.

The camera image is reflected on the high-definition color display, which is installed in the vehicle‘s cab. The system is powered by an onboard vehicle network with a voltage of 12-24V.
