Photo-Sonics has shipped the first two ARTIS Close-In Optical Tracking Systems to White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. They will go through several months of testing and evaluation before production begins. These systems will be used to collect Time-Space-Position-Information of airborne weapons systems. The Close-In gimbal is designed to be placed near the launch or impact point of the weapon. The gimbal is installed on a thirty foot telescoping tower to reduce the effects of heat shimmer and scintillation on the images and to avoid the dust and smoke caused by the event.
