ESPY, respecting MIL-STD requirements, is designed especially for military and paramilitary naval or vehicle applications.  The ESPY family offers a wealth of configurations, with or without a local console, hence also suitable and ready to be integrated into any third-party C2, C4, or CMS systems.  Available in different sizes, the reduced footprint and lightweight make ESPY suitable for installations onboard any size vessel or vehicle. Extremely easy to install and set up, also ESPY family features the distinguishing ICS’s mark Plug&Play concept. The special and exclusive detachable head design allows an extremely reduced downtime since the whole head comprising all of the sensors can be entirely replaced within seconds without requiring any further alignment or installation procedures required.

ESPY is usually supplied with its own console, available in tabletop or flush-mounted versions. The control software allows, among the rest, the visualization of the videos and data coming from the head’s sensors, the manual control of the head’s movements thanks to the high precision MIL-STD joystick, the creation of surveillance patterns, the control of the head’s embedded video tracker, and displays the continuous BITE. The integration with third-party software (C2, C4, CMS, Tactical, and so on) is performed via ICS’s proprietary protocols.

ESPY’s optical payload can be configured in many ways according to users’ requirements. The basic configuration foresees an HD daylight camera, a cooled (MWIR) or uncooled (LWIR) IR camera. Both HD daylight camera and IR camera are available with different focal lengths, hence with different optical zoom capabilities. Additionally, ESPY can be also equipped with a laser range finder, or an additional ultra-lowlight camera (NIR 0.005 lux), or laser dazzler, or a hi-intensity visible spotlight.
