Fairfield, NJ April 6, 2005 -- Performance and reliability are vital to ground or naval operations requiring technology that provides them with the ability to conduct long-range tracking and surveillance. Based upon considerable experience in developing advanced and robust thermal imaging solutions, Electrophysics is pleased to offer the Jade LR, an ultra compact yet powerful thermal surveillance system, combining high performance with unmatched operational flexibility.

The Jade LR utilizes a sensitive 320x256 InSb focal plane array sensor, motorized three field of view optic and state-of ¨Cthe-art 14-bit digital electronics integrated in a compact and waterproof housing, making the camera the ideal solution for a number of demanding applications. The Jade LR is fully compliant to military specifications and is marine qualified to operate in tough environmental conditions.

"The demands on security professionals to see further and classify targets sooner are increasing" said Jay Jones, Director of Night Vision Sales for Electrophysics. "The Jade LR long range infrared camera provides that edge, giving users the ability to conduct night time and low-light surveillance and tracking from a great distance, keeping them as far away from danger as possible."

Jade LR features a compact triple field of view optic with focal lengths of 25, 80 and 320mm, providing unmatched detection and identification capabilities at distances out to 18km. Like the entire Jade product family, Jade LR has many advanced features including variable integration time, variable frame rates (up to 200 Hz), an RS-422 digital output and a radiometric calibration option. The Jade LR is designed to interface with ALTAIR, a feature rich real-time 14-bit image recording software package.
