SubscribeThis innovative and inexpensive product is a great tool to avoid the loss of innocent lives by mistake, solving the problem of not knowing what the mine is detonated against, but, above all, it turns regular dumb mines into intelligent mines which represents a revolutionary progress in minefield technology.
If the old problem in battlefield scenarios was collateral damage (i.e. casualties caused by traditional anti-personnel land mines), nowadays the problem is still, to some extent, present due to the imprecise detonation of the command-detonated Claymore mines which have taken the place of old-fashioned AP mines.
Macroswiss, leader in technological innovation for special forces and urban operations, just launched on the market its new Claymore Camera which is a valuable military tool for the precise detonation of landmines, avoiding civilian casualties and accidents of friendly fire as well as unnecessary detonations.
The product consists of a video camera attached to the Claymore mine, which relays information to a remote receiver (through a cable transmission system, since wireless systems have several drawbacks) where the operator can monitor events happening in front of the mine, thus gaining the possibility of detonating it safely against the enemy or in self defence when the time comes. If the user wants to keep a record, the video feedback can be recorded with the GPS position as an additional option.
Claymore Camera Advantages
- Grants better operational effectiveness in use of Claymore-type AP mines
- Reduces likelihood of collateral damage and instances of friendly fire
- Upgrades AP mines from “Dumb” to Intelligent weapon status
- Competitively priced
- Easy to use and transport
- Rugged
- Quick deployment
- 100% man-portable
- Long battery life
- 90% of components can be re-used over and over again
- With optional recording systems grants full accountability of the use of the weapon
- With optional motion detection system grants that any movement in the claymore camera field of view generates an alarm (impossibility to sneak past the mine)
A Claymore Camera Standard Kit is composed of a 50 meters reel of cable connected with MIL connectors to the standard Giraffe tactical ruggedized display unit. The camera is a 380 TV lines IR unit (higher definitions, up to 600 TV lines are available as well as lengths of cable up to 200 meters).
Optional features are available for the system such as Motion Detection modules, and the GPS position mentioned previously.
Macroswiss’ Claymore Camera had a very positive response in the recent DSEi exhibition, which took place in London last September, with several potential customers who are requesting systems for trial and evaluation.
