QinetiQ displays new Combat Identification Marking System at Eurosatory
Specifically in modern conflicts it has become increasingly important to deploy with an effective system to safely identify friendly assets with distinctive identifying markings that will result in:
- Enhanced public support for current and future operations
- Sustained operational tempo
- Improved moral and greater confidence in the Unit’s leadership
- Reduced damage to civilian and military personnel, property and infrastructure
- Lives saved
Displays will include ground and maritime robotic systems, the latest RPG defeat and gunfire detection systems, vehicle survivability technology, portable power solutions, sensor suites, physical security monitors, asset tracking technology and much more.
QinetiQ, with over 15 years of experience in the development of effective combat identification solutions, has collaborated with CI Systems to offer the dismounted soldier a beacon that can be identified by ALL NATO Thermal Sensors at weapon engagement ranges and all in a device that weighs less than 350 grammes.
This new state of the art self-signalling beacon is based on a propriety new and patent pending technology which generates an IR signal from a chemical reaction disposable unit.
This source lasts for over 1 hour of operation on a single ignition and provides a 360 degree modulated signal.
Additionally POINTER will be on display at the QinetiQ booth. Pointer is QinetiQ smartware that delivers fast, networked cueing whilst minimising casualties. Finding an aggressor is difficult and dangerous; once found, a rapid accurate and coordinated response is required.
