ASQ-228

Advanced Targeting Forward Looking InfraRed (ATFLIR)

RI&S’s ASQ-228 multi-sensor, electro-optical targeting pod delivers pinpoint accuracy and reliability for air-to-air and air-to-surface mission support in the harshest conditions.

The plug and play performance of the ATFLIR’s thermographic camera, low-light television camera, target laser rangefinder/laser designator and laser spot tracker is an upgrade to much greater target resolution and image accuracy over previous systems.
