The integrated camera/PT system has passed 901D Grade "A" Shock Certification requirements by Northrop Grumman Newport News. It consists of a dual imager, two Constant Focus™ lenses (a wide angle "spotter" lens and a telephoto lens), pan/tilt mechanisms, and microprocessor driven motion controller circuitry. (Patent Pending.)

Each of the two lens types are fitted to an imager. Once an area of interest is acquired, the observer can instantly switch to a telephoto view of the same area.

The camera/PT system is integral within one environmentally sealed housing assembly. The housing assembly is compact, lightweight, ruggedized, heated, and meets IP67 requirements.
