(June 16, 2008) -- Sagem Defense Securite (Groupe SAFRAN) will be exhibiting for the first time on its stand at Eurosatory 2008 EUROFLIR(tm), its new high-performance airborne optronics unit.

EUROFLIR(tm) is a multifunction airborne surveillance system that makes use of the company's best current know-how in sensors, gyrostabilization, platform integration, image processing, chain-of-command insertion, operational maintenance.

On its gyrostabilized platform, EUROFLIR(tm) can contain up to four sensors: latest generation infrared cameras, television optical channel, laser telemeter and eye safe laser designator, chosen according to operational needs. It provides enhanced performances in terms of identification and range, thanks to an infrared optic zoom with continuous enlargement.
