TADAS CVBS thermal Assistance camera

THERMAL ADVANCED ASSISTANCE CAMERA

Workswell TADAS CVBS is a state-of-the-art thermal camera designed for monitoring and situational awareness in UGV and USV platforms developed and manufactured in Europe. As an ITAR-free solution, it is engineered to enhance safety and operational efficiency in the most demanding environments. TADAS is ideally suited for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), heavy-duty machinery, defense platforms, firefighting vehicles, and patrol systems operating in the field.

Equipped with advanced FPGA-based image processing, TADAS provides exceptional scene visualization even under harsh conditions. Its thermal core features a sensitivity of <30 mK and a resolution of 640×480 px, enabling the detection of even the slightest temperature differences. The system supports scene temperature range from -50 °C to +600 °C.

TADAS is engineered for resilience. Its robust aluminum housing, IP67-rated protection, and certifications for vibration (3.0 Grms) and shock resistance (15G) ensure optimal performance in extreme environments. A front-mounted germanium window with an integrated deicing heater maintains clear visibility even in adverse weather conditions. Its compact size, lightweight design, and versatile mounting options allow seamless integration into any platform.

Ready for rapid deployment, TADAS 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 with CVBS video output and RS-485 interface, TADAS 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.

Desktop WEOM GUI configuration

The configuration tool WEOM GUI for the TADAS thermal Assistance camera provides setting of various parameters to optimise image quality and performance in every situation. It offers advanced image processing, enhancing details and contrast optimalization through different spatial and temporal image filters as well as settings of the frame rate, gain control and user dead pixel correction wizard.

Modular architecture. One unified control.

WEOM thermal cameras are built around a proven two-part concept: a high-performance thermal core and a pluggable interface.
The same core hardware is used across the lineup, while different plugins adapt the camera to your application. All advanced functions
are controlled through a unified interface and ready-to-use software tools.

One core, multiple interfaces

Identical thermal core hardware across
the product line, with plugins providing HDMI, CVBS, GigE, UVC or RTSP video output.

Unified control via TCSI

All advanced features are controlled through
a single serial interface, independent of the selected video plugin.

Easy integration

Start with WEOM GUI, or integrate directly using C++ / Python libraries or the SEP REST API
on embedded and desktop platforms.
