OTHER OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES
Human detection, motion detection, acoustic shot detection, laser designator, non-lethal ocular disruptor, shot-triangulation, and transportable option mount configuration for handheld cooled monocular or binocular sensor

Stabilized On-The Move (Gyro Stabilization)
Delivers stable video image (thermal and color) on-the-move. This allows for greater safety, effectiveness and tactical momentum. 

Precision Gimbal
Freedom provides high speed, accurate positioning to within .001 degrees (1 inch at 1 mile).  Enables 360-degrees continuous pan and 300 degrees of tilt motion.  Freedom supports exceptional slew rate speeds of up to 400 degrees per second.

Control System
Provides intuitive control through advanced gaming controllers and a brilliant graphical display. Control can also be passed to a remote operator or machine interface (auto cueing sensors).

Communication Network
An all IP ethernet environment allows interface for multi modal wired and wireless communication.

Driver Thermal Vision Enhancement
Night driving under total darkness is enabled by the wide-angle field of view thermal optics along with mechanical image stabilization

Duel Field of View Imaging
Rapid target acquisition is easy with dual FOV. Thermal and color images are also field-of-view matched and boresight aligned to ensure operator ease-of-use when alternating sensors.

Color Payload
The CCD imager delivers full color video and low light sensitivity video for accurate viewing during dusk and dawn. Contrast, gain, backlight, detail enhancement as well as exposure controls provide the operator complete command over image quality.

Geo-Pointing/Laser Range Finder
Precise Geo-pointing accuracy is accomplished through the integrated Laser Range Finder with GIS. It provides accurate distance to subject of interest and coordinates can then be shared with other surveillance devices.

Multi-Mission Capable
Freedom can support multiple mission objectives yet is highly user intuitive for simple, fast and accurate operation regardless of the mission.

Fully Integrated, Multi-Class Vehicle Support
With three vehicle class configurations, Strongwatch provides maximum flexibility for equipping the existing fleet of truck, van and SUV with the Freedom system. Through our unique skid mount design, a vehicle can be equipped with a complete Freedom system in only a few hours.
