PRODUCTS MISSION EQUIPMENT
Starting in 2009, THOMMEN entered into a cooperation with TRANSAS AVIATION about the joint development of an EASA certified helicopter searchlight with innovative technology and outstanding performance.
The now available HSL-1600IR (Swiss made) outperforms any competitor regarding lighting performance, reliability, resistance to environmental conditions and, in particular, operational cost.
This project of a successful Russian-Swiss cooperation and excellent merge of Russian design with Swiss precision technology is the kick-off to an extended longterm partnership with large future growth potential (i.e. Searchlight HSL-800 for light helicopter with integrated Triple Filter Module) .
PRODUCTS HELICOPTER SEARCHLIGHT HSL-1600 IR
Fully integrated Design All electronics incorporated into the Gimbal
No External Power Supplies or Junction Boxes Eased Installation Integrated slaving electronics (for FLIR or DMS)
Integrated IR Filter Option Excellent Long-Range IR Performance with Wide spectral IR-Range, supports all types of NVG and CCTV Cameras No external fragile parts No Cleaning/Maintenance required Maximum Reliability No speed restriction for IR-Transition
PRODUCTS HELICOPTER SEARCHLIGHT HSL-1600 IR
At the same price as competitor systems,
HSL-1600 IR
- Significantly increases Mission reliability and efficiency - Reduces cost of installation and operation - Provides extended options for system integration - Eases spare part supply and maintenance efforts - Complies both with design requirements in Russia as with certification requirements of EASA
