In-motion Or Portable enemy fire source Detection, positioning and classification system

Mechanized warfare is particularly complex. Sniper fire, RPG rockets, and in particular anti-tank
missiles are lethal threats to the various types of ACVs moving in the battle field. Inability to detect
threats and locate the position of the firing enemy causes numerous causalities, massive, inaccurate,
and wasteful fire by our forces. Most importantly it lets the enemy retain the initiative in the battle field.

Spotlite is a family of electro-optical products that quickly and accurately detect and locate enemy fire
and swiftly close the sensor-to-shooter loop so as to neutralize the enemy and to keep initiative on
the battle field in our hands.

The first product unveiled about two years ago was the Spotlite P, formerly MK2. This is a man-
portable system that detects and locates enemy shooting small arms. It immediately investigates the
target to verify that it is indeed a terrorist and quickly sends the target data to snipers or any other
relevant shooters that can neutralize the source of fire. Since the system is man-portable and battery-
operated it has great operational flexibility and can be positioned inside buildings as well as in areas
impassible by vehicle.

An additional product, Spotlite – M, has recently joined the family. Spotlite – M is an electro-optical
system installed on ACVs and other vehicles that detects and locates an enemy that is firing small
arms, RPG bombs, anti-tank missiles, and rockets, in motion, day and night, at a range of up to 360°.
