TOPLITE EOS (electro-optical system) provides
advanced day/night all-weather observation and SEA SPOTTER IRS2T
precision targeting in a compact, high-stability multi-
sensor payload. COMBAT-PROVEN, TOPLITE EOS Naval IR Staring and Tracking System
delivers maximum performance in minimum space
on aircraft, helicopters, naval vessels and land The Sea Spotter is an advanced Naval IRST system
vehicles. TOPLITE EOS is a derivative of Rafael’s that will enable a naval vessel to automatically
state-of-the-art LITENING targeting and navigation locate and pinpoint threats and targets located
pod. around it without being exposed to enemy systems.
The TOPLITE is used for target detection, The system, dubbed Sea Spotter, is a new

zenith and transferring the data to the ship's combat
system for interception.
Based on infrared sensors, the Sea Spotter is a
completely passive system. Unlike electromagnetic
radar systems, it does not emit any signals, so that
as part of its situational awareness, it can "see" but
not be seen without emitting any beams and without
giving away the ship's position.
