Best long-range imaging performance
The ARGC-2400's integrated patent pending laser illuminator
delivers unprecedented performance for long-range surveillance.
Conventional laser sources lack the power and beam uniformity needed for
long-range high image quality.
Real-time operation in total darkness
This exclusive technology lets you operate in total darkness. Conventional night vision systems require moonlight or other ambient light. The ARGC-2400 acquires real-time videos (standard video speed of 30 frames per second), which ensures that every critical detail is recorded.
Resist parasitic light; perform in bad weather
Range gating technology enables the ARGC-2400 to capture and display clear visual data without interference from parasitic light and adverse weather conditions (snow, fog, rain) frequently encountered in coast guard surveillance, antiterrorism operations, and search and rescue missions.


Affordable high magnification telescope
Because the system operates in the 800 to 900 nm range, the optical components required for optimal performance are not expensive. However, high-magnification IR thermal imagers require sophisticated telescopes built with specialized, high-cost materials. So their built-in costs are much higher.
Robust cost effective design
The system is rugged and waterproof. Use it as a stand-alone camera to monitor remote battlefield areas. Or install it on any stabilized platform such as a pan-and-tilt helicopter platform or tank platform. The system can also be slaved to radar or other detection systems.
See through glass and detect camouflage nets
The wavelength range of the patent pending laser illuminator is currently between 800 nm and 900 nm. Within this range, operators are able to see through glass: car windshields, helicopters, planes, and windows.
