Sensing & Surveillance
Situational awareness is the foundation for effective decision-making in the battlespace. When the stakes are high and there is no time for doubt, equipment and information must be reliable and dependable. ITT develops and fields the sensing & surveillance solutions that help protect and guide military personnel and first responders as they complete their missions.
ITT’s sensing & surveillance technologies help define the disposition of forces and threats to enhance situational awareness: night vision systems that turn night into day, powerful radars that track missile threats, electronic systems to analyze, interpret and respond to enemy signal traffic, biological and chemical detection systems that define areas of danger, image and data processing and dissemination that support quicker, more accurate decisions, and technologies to defeat threats to aircraft, ships and ground personnel.
- The leading full-service supplier of the most advanced night vision equipment today for military and homeland security applications.
- Thousands of strategic, tactical and special ops aircraft equipped with ITT electronic warfare systems to counter battlefield threats and pursue electronic attack.
- Early warning biological and chemical detection technologies including systems for detection, identification, modeling, situational awareness and decision support.
- Reconnaissance and surveillance systems to interpret a wide range of electronic signals from deep within enemy territory.
- Systems for underwater threat detection and mine influence including sonar systems, acoustic transducers, and navigation arrays.
- Air surveillance radars protect high-value ships and air traffic radars provide surveillance and precision approach control at remote airfields.
- Turnkey electronic intrusion detection systems with smart sensors designed to protect key military and commercial assets.
