As warfare and security scenarios become increasingly complex there is a definitive and growing need to completely identify and characterise the target signature of threats, whatever the environment, viewing distance or relative angular position.

Flytherm is a complete state-of-the-art 4-axis gimbal system capable of hosting a variety of high performance SWIR, MWIR and LWIR focal plane array sensors with real-time storage capabilities and post processing image analysis. Compact in design (350mm diameter) the typical weight of Flytherm may vary between 20 and 30kg allowing its use even with slow-speed planes or small helicopters.

According to Cedip, Flytherm can be tailored to meet the exact needs of each user, with a unique combination of 2 or 3 thermal sensors, collimated along with a visible camera for control purposes. A choice of sensor formats (320x256 and 640x512) and lenses are available to suit the resolution and field of view requirements of different applications. Flytherm can also host multispectral cameras such as the popular ORION camera and depending on the installed payload will readily integrate a wide range of third party instruments.

All communication and digital video data are streamed out to the cabin acquisition system and recorded using the comprehensive, yet intuitive, functionality of Cedip's proprietary SATIR/ALTAIR multi-acquisition signature software.

Accident prevention is one of CEI’s core competencies. We slash accident rates for both car and truck fleets by as much as 35%, saving lives and tens of millions of dollars year in the visible and hidden costs of accidents, year in and year out. The key is our online DriverCare fleet driver safety and risk management application, which harnesses big data to identify high-risk drivers.

Each DriverCare fleet driver file contains important performance data — accident history, MVRs (including medical certifications), traffic camera violations, toll-free driver reporting services, fleet telematics data, fleet predictive analytics and more. These factors help determine a risk level. If a driver’s risk level becomes elevated or a serious event occurs, the driver (along with customer-designated managers) is automatically notified and assigned remedial fleet driver safety training.

DriverCare is proven to strengthen driver safety culture, change driver behavior, provide a record to mitigate negligent entrustment action, and deliver a substantial reduction in accidents.
