For modern submarine operations the unique combinationFor modern submarine operations the unique combination of OMS 110 and OMS 200 represents the peak of technological innovation. The system configuration is designed to function under rapidly changing operational requirements as well as varying ambient light and weather conditions. Its highly modular and compact design ensures ease of installation, integration and logistic maintainability. The OMS solution can be fully integrated into combat management systems ensuring full remote-control.

The compact and highly modular design of the optronic mast system 110 ensures ease of installation, integration and logistic maintainability. It distinguishes itself through its unique capability to conduct a 360° quick look around (QLR) in merely three seconds with a resultant panoramic view.

The OMS 200 sets itself apart through an enhanced stealth (visual, IR and radar) technology in a highly integrated compact design. Its optronics comprise an integrated sensor system made up of an HDTV day camera, a short wave infrared (SWIR) camera and an eye-safe laser range finder on a single line of sight.

With the MEOS II, Airbus DS Optronics offers a surveillance solution that meets the highest requirements. Combining high-end cameras and sensors, MEOS II guarantee maximum surveillance capability in support of security while being extremely user-friendly.

MEOS II is available as a stand-alone unit or can be fully integrated into CMS and bridge systems. It automatically scans predefined areas and activates target tracking. MEOS II comprises visual and IR sensors enabling the operator to see clearly at all times in all light and weather conditions.

With its leading thermal imaging system, MEOS II excels at search and rescue missions. Thus, the chance of detection of a man in the water is greatly enhanced up to distances of at least 3 km.

MEOS II is a fully stabilised, compactly designed surveillance system which bundles various state-of-the-art sensors. Thus, offering the user a large variety of functions comprised in only one device. MEOS II is equiped with an windows cleaning unit, operated from the standalone or integrated console.

MEOS II can be upgraded to meet specific naval surveillance, target aquisition and tracking requirements. The standard MEOS II system can be operationally enhanced by the addition of a high repetition rate 12 Hz laser rangefinders and SWIR capability for exceedong atmospherical limits (haze and fog), as a complement to the visual daylight and infrared camera. Deeper integration into a CMS, as an aid to fire control solutions, is feasible.

At EURONAVAL 2014, Airbus DS Optronics's stand is G49.
