The ROS3 from Safran Electronics & Defense is an advanced Remote Observation System that sets new standards for remote operations. Designed to provide exceptional situational awareness and operational efficiency, the ROS3 is a versatile solution that meets the demanding needs of military and security forces worldwide. It offers a reliable comprehensive, ready-to-use wired and wireless solution for remotely operating the JIM Compact. By harnessing the advanced features of the JIM Compact, the ROS3 delivers enhanced functionality and improved ergonomics in a more compact, lightweight design with reduced power consumption. It offers infantry, forward observers, reconnaissance teams, and special forces a dependable solution for round-the-clock remote observation.
The ROS3 is a reliable remote observation system that enables users to remotely control and monitor the Safran JIM Compact. It integrates seamlessly with Safran’s JIM Compact, a multifunctional infrared binocular designed for surveillance and target acquisition. This integration allows operators to perform critical missions with greater accuracy and safety, even in the most challenging environments.
The JIM Compact, pan/tilt head with tripod, and End-User Device are connected through a dedicated power and data hub, which supplies power to all devices via a BB2590 battery or external power sources like a vehicle or mains power.
There are multiple wireless connection capabilities:
- The Baseline Configuration provides a wired remote control up to 25 m.
- An Extended Wired Kit provides a wired remote control with a range of up to 25 m.
- A Wireless Medium Range Kit for wireless remote control with an extended range of up to 300 m and
- A Wireless Longe Range Kit for wireless remote control with a range of up to 1 km. The ROS has a compact size and lightweight design.
ROS weights less than 10 kg in Baseline Configuration (without battery and JIM Compact). Less than 12 kg in Extended Wired Configuration and less than 16 kg in Wireless Long Range Configuration. Despite its small form factor, the system delivers powerful performance, making it easier for operators to deploy and manage in the field. The reduced weight also contributes to lower power consumption, enhancing the system’s overall efficiency.
Commands and controls
The system is designed for ease of use, with intuitive controls and interfaces that allow operators to quickly adapt and respond to changing situations.
The ROS3 system offers comprehensive remote control capabilities for the JIM Compact, replicating its Human-Machine Interface (HMI) to ensure a seamless and intuitive user experience from a distance. This allows operators to access all functions of the JIM Compact remotely, including adjusting settings and capturing critical data, as if they were physically handling the device.
The ROS3 also manages a precision pan/tilt head, enabling precise positioning and movement. This is facilitated through a color multi-point touch screen, which provides a highly responsive and user-friendly interface for touch control. Operators can effortlessly direct the pan/tilt head, allowing them to adjust their field of view with pinpoint accuracy, even in dynamic situations.
One of the standout features of the ROS3 is its ability to handle digital video and image recording directly from the JIM Compact.
Scanning Mode
The ROS3 Scanning Mode introduces a sophisticated level of automation to surveillance and reconnaissance operations, allowing operators to efficiently monitor large areas with precision and minimal manual intervention. The scanned area can be outlined using multiple waypoints, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the surveillance zone. Operators can either specify these waypoints manually or choose from a pre-established scanning pattern, allowing for flexibility depending on the mission’s requirements. The system also supports an automatic rally function, where the ROS3 can navigate to a specific waypoint autonomously. In the scanning mode, it can perform complex 3D movement scan patterns, allowing for a more detailed and thorough examination of the environment.
Digital Map Display
The ROS3 Digital Map Display feature utilizes industry-standard map formats, providing a comprehensive and interactive view of the operational environment.
The Digital Map Display shows the operator’s exact location in real-time, providing a clear reference point within the operational area.
The map display also highlights the field of view of the JIM Compact and the line of sight of the JIM Compact. This visual representation allows operators to quickly understand the scope of their surveillance coverage, ensuring that critical areas are being monitored effectively and to identify any potential obstructions or blind spots.
Furthermore, it can mark and display the positions of acquired targets.
The integration between the Digital Map Display and the JIM Compact Point Manager allows for seamless synchronization of data. Any points of interest or target positions identified on the map can be instantly communicated to the JIM Compact, ensuring that all team members are working with the same up-to-date information.
