Perspective and overview in all driving situations
Safe on and off-road
Recognition and reconnaissance of the local environment is a challenge below the hatch. Not only does the heightened risk situation due to asymmetric threats require reconnaissance of the environment early on, the safe movement of vehicles in public road traffic must also be ensured.
Digitised vision for road traffic
This requires highly specialised display systems with integrated video processing and video stream distribution that meet legal and tactical requirements. For this purpose, KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics developed a passive camera monitor system for a customer which now expands the driver’s field of vision without a vision block.
Fusion of different views
Rapid perception is also important for the driver off-road. The field of view must be supplemented by views in other electromagnetic spectra, especially during night-time operations. For this purpose, KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics offers intelligent display solutions for the instrument panel or sun visor that display these additional views, such as infrared or low light amplifier, and thus provide the driver with valuable information for situational awareness.

Improving rapid reaction capability
Functions
The participation of armoured wheeled and tracked vehicles in public road traffic is possible with special camera monitor systems that meet the technical requirements for replacing conventional mirrors with digital ones in accordance with ISO 16505. This passive and safety-relevant system replaces the indirect view of the rear and side mirrors. This necessitates redundant image display and continuous backtesting on a computer.
