MAKA respects MIL-STD requirements and is designed especially for long range surveillance applications.  The MAKA 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 systems.  Available in deck standing or hollow shaft design, ESPY is suitable for installations on towers or budlings’ roofs, as well as on retractable masts or poles when used on board vehicles. Extremely easy to install and set up, also ESPY family features the distinguishing ICS’s mark Plug&Play concept. The modular design allows reduced downtime since the whole optical or mechanical module can be replaced as a low replaceable unit.

LOCAL CONSOLE & CONTROL SOFTWARE

MAKA 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, Tactical, and so on) is performed via ICS’s proprietary protocols.

CONFIGURATIONS

MAKA’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 focal lengths up to 2200 mm or more for the HDTV, and 1200mm or more for the HD MWIR camera. Additionally, MAKA can be also equipped with other modules for laser range finder, an additional ultra-lowlight camera (NIR 0.005 lux), laser dazzler or a hi-intensity visible spotlight, an acoustic emitter for long distance voice communications.
