Range
Every day, Redlake cameras are deployed in test ranges around the world to image extreme applications under severe environmental conditions. The advanced camera features necessary to image missile launches and other radical, high-speed tests force optical system researchers to utilize the finest imaging systems available on their ranges.
Redlake’s unique MotionXtra CMOS camera system offers an array of outstanding features suited to a variety of test range functions, including:
-
High altitude missile tests for assessing in-flight intercept missile systems
-
Rocket sled tests for sub- and supersonic analysis to simulate the high-velocity of aircraft or weapon delivery missile systems
-
Weapons impact testing/high explosives tests for assessing the impact and detonation of weapons such as missiles, laser-guided bombs, and mortar rounds as a target
Whether imaging hypersonic weapons delivery systems exceeding Mach 6 speeds, or freezing a missile as it spirals through the air a quarter of a mile or more from its target, the MotionXtra provides an effective means for capturing events at lightning speeds.
Also, the new MotionPro X and MotionScope series of cameras from Redlake can be utilized for general high-speed imaging on ranges. MotionPro X cameras now feature IRIG-B as well as live video for setup/focus, while its battery-powered MotionScope systems serve as low-cost, versatile cameras for minor range imaging tests.
