Catadioptric Omni-Directional System for M1A2 Abrams (360-Degree Camera System)

摘要

The Catadioptric Omni-Directional System was developed by the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) Acoustic and Network Sensors Office, Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey to demonstrate existing technologies that could increase situational awareness for the M1A2 Abrams' crew. The project required a rapid and easily incorporated solution that could attach to the tank without permanent modification and at low cost. On 23 February 2005, the completed system was demonstrated to PM Abrams' Tank Urban Survivability Kit (TUSK) Program Manager.
