A significant number of Sophie MF long range multi-function
binoculars / thermal imagers and TYR laser target designators will be provided
as part of the LAND 17 1B programme for a Digital Terminal Control System to
improve coordination and terminal control of air, naval and land fire support.
The Thales optronics sensors will be seamlessly integrated
into Rockwell Collins’ Firestorm joint fires targeting system to provide a
complete turnkey solution.

A world leader in the design and manufacture of thermal
imagers, Thales’s Sophie family of both cooled and uncooled products meets the
full spectrum of observation, surveillance, orientation, and fire-control
requirements of today’s defence and security forces. Non-detectable due to
their passive infrared operation, Sophie systems can be used day and night and
under all weather conditions. Since their introduction, over 10,000 Sophie
units have been sold to more than 45 countries. There are currently around 300
Sophie units already in service with the Australian Defence Force, as well as a
quantity of TYRs.
The Sophie MF is a complete acquisition, identification and
location system that weighs less than 3kg. It can be used day or night, with a
high resolution stabilised image, plus an eye-safe laser rangefinder, GPS and
direction finder.
The TYR is a state of the art compact laser target
designator that can operate in standalone applications, with forward
observation sensor equipment, dismounted soldiers or vehicle-mounted platforms.
The TYR designates targets and provides both accurate range data and images of
the laser spot on the target to allow laser-guided munitions to be accurately
deployed.
