SERO 250 Series

The SERO 250 is available in an attack and search version, SERO 250 A and SERO 250 S. This allows submarines to easily adjust to changing operational conditions and to ful l comple re uirements for surveillance and intelligence gathering.To ease integration the SERO 250 can be operated as a stand-alone system or be integrated into e isting or renewed Combat Management Systems.

The periscope system enables the user to monitor surface and air activity, to collect navigational data and to detect and identify targets. It also provides video signals for parallel observation either on CMS or with a stand-alone console. The SERO 250 can be enhanced with improved night vision capability through the addition of an IR camera as an add-on module.

The SERO 250 design philosophy has been conditioned by the re uirement to enable a simple, rapid and cost-effective retro t into the con nes of any submarine.To achieve this, Hensoldt Optronics has engineered a straightforward drop-in installation through the e isting hull penetration, avoiding any need for hull modi cations and retaining the e isting hydraulic hoist mechanisms, bearings and seals.All SERO 250 human machine interface HMI functionality is resident on a compact ocular bo display unit mounted below the Direct View binocular eyepiece. This self-contained unit includes system settings, camera displays, target information, system status, and communication. As an option, a remote HMI console display can be tted to a bulkhead mount. SERO 250 can also be integrated into a submarine Combat Management System for remote control.

OMS 150The Cutting-edge Optronics Mast System

OMS 150 is an enhanced new sensor system in the proven design of the OMS 100 and OMS 110. Integrating the latest camera developments, including SWIR, it comprises a uni ue combination of ve optronics sensors of cutting-

edge technology. This enables new operational potential, by realising a true all light, all weather visual capability.

To minimise the e posure time of the mast, a so called uick look round LR of 0° can be conducted in less than three seconds. Real-time image enhancement and the intuitive HMI with automated functions provide an unprecedented level of situational awareness at periscope depth.

The latest sensor technology of the OMS 150 is complemented by enhanced digital bre optic data transfer and image processing technology, allowing to display the images of up to three cameras simultaneously. The user-friendly intuitive HMI enables highly automated operations of the optronics mast. The combination of sensor data by overlaying images up to sensor fusion signi cantly improves situational awareness. Real time image enhancement includes turbulence correction and navigation light detection as well as overlaying image data (alpha-blending) up to sensor fusion. Recorded images and videos include mission relevant meta data, such as navigational details and time of recording.

The OMS 150 and OMS 200 are a combination of non-hull penetrating optronics mast systems for new-built submarines. The improved human machine interface (HMI) enables highly automated operations from the ship’s combat management system (CMS), but can also be operated independently from a dedicated stand-alone console. The gathered imagery can be enhanced, recorded, e ploited and analysed within the CMS. Recorded images and videos include mission relevant meta data, such as navigational details and time stamp, providing true intelligence value. Images can be overlaid with alpha-blending up to complete sensor fusion for a real situational awareness under all light and weather conditions

Simulation

To support crew training and mission rehearsal ashore, Hensoldt Optronics has developed SERO simulator systems which combine representative periscope hardware (comprising ocular bo , video display unit and periscope control unit) with a high- delity scenario generator controlled from a computer-based instructor station.

The use of a shore-based simulator allows familiarity with the SERO system to be built up outside of the submarine, supports operator command training and evaluation and enables tactical training and doctrine development in a repeatable and controlled environment. Furthermore, it signi cantly reduces the need to remain at periscope depth while undertaking at-sea training.

Speci c mission scenarios and geographies operating areas can be pre-programmed by the instructor. A bespoke end user library enables virtual representations of various entities – such as surface and air targets – to be displayed in the SERO simulation environment.

Beside managing scenario generation and tasking, the instructor is able to monitor operator performance during the course of the training session.


Surface systems

Coastline surveillance and the safety of vessels at sea are key issues in today’s maritime environment. The integrity of a country’s territorial waters must be guaranteed at all times. dditionally, the safeguard of national property as well as trade interests worldwide is signi cant. Especially on shipping routes prone to piracy attacks, constant awareness of threats to the ship is a necessity. Safety through effective surveillance is vital at sea, thus, Hensoldt Optronics offers a surveillance solution that meets the highest re uirements. Combining high end cameras and sensors, MEOS II guarantees maximum surveillance capability in support of security while being extremely user friendly.
