SIMONE

Ship Infrared Monitoring, Observation and Navigation Equipment SIMONE

SIMONE provides early warning against pirate and terrorist attacks. It demonstrates its strengths above all in harbors where ships may be attacked from the water and land and conventional radar systems rapidly reach their limits. 

Infrared cameras acquire even very small suspicious objects, such as inflatable rubber boats or persons swimming in the water, and provide 360° coverage of the ship's immediate vicinity. A host computer evaluates the image information around the clock.

The crew is alerted automatically in case of an acute threat.

The reconnaissance and surveillance system SIMONE is scheduled for initial employment on the new F125 frigates of the German Navy.
