The Californer/10228475

VIENNA, Va. - Californer -- TenCate Advanced Armor, USA, Inc. is introducing the company's armored optronics casings to United States military and law-enforcement customers.

These composite sheaths protect sensitive electronic equipment such as advanced optical imaging, thermal imaging and other sensors that are mounted on land, water and aircraft vehicles for the purpose of detecting emerging threats and observing operating conditions. The casings shield sensing technologies from bullets, explosions, shock, impact, weather, dust, humidity and other environmental threats.

Optronic systems are designed to protect high-value platforms, such as tanks, tactical vehicles, helicopters and other platforms equipped with technologies such as long-range Detection Recognition Identification (DRI) systems. Increasingly, military commands and advanced law enforcement units are relying on remote optronics to provide surveillance and sighting technologies that can locate, observe, track and engage targets without necessarily placing personnel in the line of fire.
