Overview
Oryx 12S is a lightweight gyrostabilized turret for land-based observation and surveillance. At approximately 1.5 kg it is optimized for mobile platforms and provides day/night multisensor observation with EO and uncooled LWIR, an integrated Class 1 LRF (1.55 μm) up to 12 km and an optional Class 3B laser pointer. The system includes onboard video processing, AI-assisted functions and digital stabilization for operations in demanding environments.

Main highlights

• Lightweight gyrostabilized turret for land applications
