This new integrated solution builds on the unique performance of Obzerv's flagship product the ARGC-2400 and Flir's ThermoVision 2000/3000 camera.
The cameras are installed together on the same post. The ThermoVision 2000/3000 camera is used for its detection capabilities to scan the horizon. Once a target is detected the operator uses the ARGC-2400 to classify and identify the target.
Obzerv's ARGC-2400/ThermoVision solution in action
Using Thermal Imaging capabilities of the solution the operator detects a large ship cruising off the coast at 20 km. The next step for the operator is to engage the Range-Gating Imaging function. Once enabled, the Ranged-Gating capabilities are allowing the operator to recognize the ship at 20 km, read her name at distance less than 10 km and even assess the height of the flotation line, hence, becoming fully empowered to take the appropriate decision and action.
Without the appropriate information, it is impossible for an operator to properly assess a given situation. Obzerv's ARGC-2400/ThermoVision integrated solution is responding to the challenge and empowering operators with time critical information provided by the unique combination of Thermal & Ranged-Gating Imaging.

This solution is designed for long-range Detection, Classification and Identification, its key features are:
| FEATURES | BENEFITS |
| Thermal Imaging | Extreme long range detection and excellent image quality, even through smoke and dust (> 20 km) |
| Laser Range-Gated Imaging | Extreme long range Classification (>15 km) and Identification (6 km) |
| Real-time operation in total darkness | No need for external light source or moonlight |
| Performing under degraded weather conditions (snow, fog, rain) | Strategic Surveillance advantage for Classification and Identification |
| No sensitivity to external light source | No impact for the Classification and Identification of targets under direct or indirect light source |
| See through glass | Strategic Surveillance advantage for Classification and Identification |
| Detect camouflage nets | Provides location of hidden material |
| Detection of Pointed Optics | Detection of binoculars, gun sights, retro-reflecting stripes (life vest), eyes, etc. hence providing decisive Surveillance, Classification and Identification advantages |
| Resistant to laser aggression weapons | Deployable in hostile locations |
| Advanced GPS based geo-mapping and target positioning (optional) | Pinpoint suspect locations in real time on mapping display |
| Programmable search pattern (optional) | Reduces operator workload |
