Common Open Architecture Panoramic Sight
Dual-axis stabilized panoramic targeting system for 24/7 surveillance, target acquisition and laser designation
COAPS™-D is a dual-axis, gyro‑stabilized panoramic EO/IR sighting system designed for modern armored platforms. It supports long-range observation, target acquisition and precision laser designation under all operational conditions.
Built on an open, modular architecture, COAPS™-D integrates seamlessly with main battle tanks (MBTs), infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and other combat platforms, enabling rapid deployment across diverse fleets.
The system combines high-performance electro‑optical sensors with advanced video analytics, delivering continuous day-and-night situational awareness and accurate targeting in dynamic environments.
Sensors & Targeting Suite
COAPS-D integrates a multi-channel payload designed to ensure reliable detection and engagement:
- Thermal Imaging (MWIR SXGA): Advanced cooled thermal imager with continuous zoom
- Day Camera (FHD VIS-NIR): High-resolution daylight and low-light imaging
- Laser Rangefinder: Eye-safe range measurement
- Laser Designator: High-energy, precise designation for guided munitions
- MWIR “See-Spot” Channel: Enables accurate tracking of laser spots
- Optional NIR Pointer: Additional targeting support
The system maintains precise alignment through automatic boresighting and sensor fusion, ensuring consistent accuracy during movement.
AI-Powered Video Analytics
Optional onboard analytics enhance operational efficiency and reduce crew workload:
- Automatic Target Recognition (ATR)
- Video Motion Detection (VMD)
- Wide Area Persistent Surveillance (WAPS)
- Integrated video tracking
- Multi-sensor fusion and image enhancement
These capabilities support faster detection, classification and decision-making in complex operational scenarios.
Operational Advantages
COAPS-D is designed for real-world combat conditions:
- Maintains target lock while platform and target are moving
- Enables continuous laser designation in all weather conditions
- Improves engagement accuracy for precision-guided munitions
- Reduces operator workload through automation
- Supports faster sensor-to-shooter cycles
