ARMY GETS SOPHISTICATED INDIGENOUS EQUIPMENT

[Zarvan]

Laser Science and Technology Centre, has designed & developed an Optical Target Locater, a laser-based portable surveillance device, for detection of passive or active optical threats

NEW DELHI — Defense Minister Arun Jaitley handed over the Optical Target Locator-300 developed by Laser Science and Technology Centre (LASTEC), Delhi,, which can instantly detect partially camouflaged optical elements, such as telescopes, binoculars and night vision devices in a 300-meter range. It consists of a Near Infra Red (NIR) enhanced imaging camera with a laser source. It includes optical zoom assembly, laser beam expander, electronics and a micro-display with an ocular (and an LCD display as an option).

Since September last year, the armed forces have lost more than 24 soldiers in firing from snipers and mortars by Pakistani forces along the Line of Control (LoC). Sniper or night-vision devices detection equipment will hold vital importance in the mountainous Himalayan region where the life of soldiers posted within visual range remains at stake, especially on the front with Pakistan. Recently, Pakistani Army has also enhanced the number of snipers along the LoC to counter the Army.

“Indigenously developed spectral analysis software processes the Raman signals with the help of an in-built single-board computer. The algorithm provides automatic acquisition of data, its processing and finally matching of Raman peaks of different explosive materials which are stored in computer library to provide information about targeted materials in text as well as audio alarm simultaneously in about 10-12 seconds,” DRDO said in a statement. The Preemptor can screen more than 100 explosives in an hour, the statement said.

The Intelligence Bureau has received the Preemptor from the DRDO. It is a laser-based, hand-held, complete explosive identification system with hardware and software, for the in-situ screening of all kinds of explosives in the form of liquids, solids and powders contained in transparent or semitransparent containers from a stand-off distance of 30 centimeters (around 12 inches) extendable up to 5 meters (about 16 feet).

300 metres will help fight militants in close range. But not against snipers who operate from safe distances across the border.

Develop a halal moped engine first !

Very true. There is a 1500 m range device in the works - this is what will prove most effective on the LoC (when it become available)

What moped engine mate .. They are making state of the art choppers with ruhani taknalagy.. Don't you dare mock them..

300 meter is not enough i think.. Pakistani Sniper's had 1000 meter confirmed kills in SHWAL OP ..So those battle hardened snipers won't be coming THAT much near to indian posts.

That is a gyrocopter you bharti idiot, you probably know it from the good old Vedic times

Tonbo has something even better.

Has a pixel pitch of 17um
Range of almost 8km
GPS Accuracy of 3m CEP
It can give output in both Day and IR as well as Fused modes.
Weighs less than 3kgs
And can withstand shock & vibration as per MIL-STD-810F

Specifically design to hunt Pakistani snipers ?

Now this is a similar product developed by Tonbo which has a range of 5km developed by the so called Bhartis and this Bharti firm is developing world class products which are being procured by many defense units across the world

Well , this Equipment ISNT given to the Army!!... it been given to the NSG, for its courter-sniper Team. THE OP article is wrong - Stupid Journo!

So Either a advance version is being built or procured with better range for the army, we shall see later

The Union Minister for Finance, Corporate Affairs and Defence, Shri Arun Jaitley handing over the ‘OTL-300’ to the DG, NSG, Shri Sudhir Pratap Singh, in New Delhi on May 01, 2017. The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Subhash Ramrao Bhamre and the Chairman DRDO and Secretary, DD (R&D), Dr. S. Christopher are also seen.

What is the connection between what you're showcasing and the product being discussed in this thread?
The Tonbo product you're showcasing is NOT a sniper detection device but a regular long range binocular/thermal imager!!!
The OLT (or sniper detector) does not look for thermal sources or even regular objects - it detects the scopes fitted on the sniper rifles (by extension any other binoculars, thermal imagers used on the other side of the border).
