Litton Marine Systems has received an order to supply an AMIRIS infrared imaging system and other electronics for a new catamaran passenger ferry under construction at Pequot River Shipworks (USA). The new 45-meter 300-passenger TriCat ferry is the second Pequot vessel to be fitted with the AMIRIS infrared imaging system. Since its initial introduction in 1997, the AMIRIS product has been upgraded with options such as an integrated CCD camera, providing a variable thermal image overlay, dual axis stabilization and a laser range finder. AMIRIS is available with either a monochrome or color display. AMIRIS is also the only marine thermal imager that offers a full 360 degree viewing axis, due to the usage of a slip ring assembly rather than cabling. More information: Litton Marine Systems |
