TADAS Ethernet is designed for straightforward IP-based integration. It features an Ethernet (PoE) interface with ONVIF support and includes full PTZ control capability via both ONVIF and the PELCO-D RS485 interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of security and surveillance systems.

Engineered for resilience, the robust aluminum housing with IP67-rated protection and certifications for vibration (3.0 Grms) and shock resistance (15G) ensures reliable performance in extreme environments. A front-mounted germanium window with an integrated de-icing heater maintains clear visibility even in adverse weather conditions.

Ready for rapid deployment, TADAS Ethernet boots up in under six seconds. It supports both automatic and manual gain control, spatial and temporal filtering, and offers 14 image palettes, including two user-defined options. Operated via the WEOM GUI and connected through a MIL-spec connector, TADAS Ethernet is purpose-built for integration into defense, security, and autonomous systems.

High Image Quality

TADAS utilizes advanced FPGA-based image processing to deliver exceptional thermal image quality. With a thermal sensitivity of <30 mK and a detector resolution of 640 × 480 px, the system can detect even subtle temperature differences—critical for vehicle operation in challenging terrain or low-visibility conditions.

Mission-Adaptive Lens Options

TADAS offers two fixed lens options (7.5 mm and 14 mm), allowing configuration based on specific operational needs—a wide field of view (91° × 74°) for close-range monitoring or a narrower field (42° × 32°) for long-range detection. For instance, the 14 mm lens can detect a person at up to 520 meters and a vehicle at up to 1,260 meters, making it ideal for border surveillance and autonomous navigation.

Wide Range of Applications

TADAS is engineered for a wide range of applications, including unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), firefighting and defense vehicles, and heavy machinery. Fully European and ITAR-free, it enables straightforward deployment in regions with strict export controls. The system is designed to perform reliably in the most demanding environments and missions.

Fast Start-up and Easy Control

TADAS powers up in under six seconds, ensuring readiness in urgent or high-stakes situations. It is operated via an RS-485 interface and an intuitive WEOM GUI software, allowing for fast integration and user-friendly field operation. A built-in tool for dead pixel correction further simplifies maintenance.

Compact and Easy to Integrate

With compact dimensions (70 × 65 × 114 mm) and a weight of only 0.6 kg, TADAS can be easily integrated into various vehicle platforms. Its rugged aluminum housing, available in camouflage colors (black, military green, or sand), along with an integrated germanium window heater, ensures dependable performance even in harsh conditions.
