"The Star SAFIRE® III is one of the world’s most popular gyro-stabilized EO/IR systems. Carrying seven payloads and tested/qualified beyond Mil Specs, this system is the workhorse for airborne, land and maritime force protection and medevac in hotspots around the world. Over 500 Star SAFIRE® III’s have been delivered to the U.S. military, NATO and nations worldwide."

Image and Overlay

The image that you will see on the 15" tft screens is computer generated. This virtual world gives us the possibility to set up our own conditions and scenarios. On top of this, we created a FLIR Star Safire overlay that resembles the real one as close as possible. We also added some of our own features to it (scenario select, set mission time, etc..)

The sensors simulated are a Color HD Daylight with Zoomlens , 3CCD , 29° to 0,25°, a Thermal Imager , 30° to 0.25° and a Low-Light HD Camera , Image Intensified 29° x 0,25°. All the relevant functions of the real FLIR Safire sensors are represented in our software.

Hardware Setup

Our Gist case consists of 2 TFT monitors (15"). One is for the pilot, the other one is for the Gimbal operator (TFO). Two drawers contain the handcontroller (HCU), flightpad and headsets. Underneath the drawers are 2 slimline computers containing the latest available computer components. The system connects to a standard 110/230V outlet.
All this is packaged up in a mobile shock absorbant flightcase for easy transport.

HCU

A replica of the real FLIR Star Safire has been created in house. Our HCU connects through a USB port to the gist system. It has the same dimensions, weight and feel as the real one.
