Driver Vision Enhancer System for Military Vehicles (DVE)
"ARMOR EYE" with Single Camera and Quad Camera
360° Surround View with Vision Enhancer Systems (DVE) and Multispectral Situational Awareness Solutions (SAS)
Fastest Live Vision - lowest latency
| Low latency | Delta | Sum |
| Integration time | 16.7 [ms] | 16.7 [ms] |
| Processing | 2.0 [ms] | 18.7 [ms] |
| Display | 8.0 [ms] | 26.7 [ms] |
XXL FoV - Widest Field of View
The total field of view does not simply summarize the values from each integrated camera. Particularly for side views, Kappa systems thoroughly cover critical view angles, achieving true surround views.
HD Excellence
Kappa HD cameras come with an extraordinarily robust design - a clear advantage over conventional systems. Due to the high resolution streams the mission won't miss even the tiniest detail.
24/7 day and night vision: safety for your crews, improved efficiency of your missions
Scalable solutions for your fleet | scalable with digital video distribution unit
We will advise you, comprehensively and specific to your needs; responsible for system integration, we will stand at your side long term. We adapt our DVE systems thoroughly to specific missions, to different tank types and models (e.g. Leopard). Safety and efficiency of your operations are our mission.

Latency-free panoramic view
Driver Vision Enhancer on the tank
Driver Vision Enhancer Display with Picture in Picture
Complete scalable 12 sector LSAS system incl. DVE with extreme DRI and low light capabilities
Highest DRI Capabilities, extreme range (without pan-tilt)
Conventional systems mostly rely on a maintenance-intensive pan-tilt apparatus for the detection, identification and regognition function. In contrast the Kappa system uses an integrated high-performance zoom combined with the XXL FoV. A pan-tilt system is not required.
Excellent DRI range
