Camero Launches Handheld “Through-Wall Vision” Product
New tool builds on success in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) arena and expands into Tactical Operations and Special Forces.
Tyson’s Corner, Virginia, April 28, 2008 -Camero USA, a pioneer in 'Through-Wall Vision” solutions, announced it is adding a handheld device, the Xaver™ 400, to its lineup of through-wall imaging products.
Designed specifically to meet the needs of tactical operators and Special Forces, the Xaver™ 400 offers unprecedented situational awareness in a compact form factor. Weighing only six pounds and slightly smaller than a laptop computer, the Xaver™ 400 is easy to operate and carry.
The device is capable of penetrating concrete, reinforced concrete, cinder block, brick, stucco, adobe, drywall and other common wall types, with a range of up to eight meters (26ft). The device presents the operator with an easy to read display indicating the location and number of people behind a wall or barrier. The Xaver™ 400 has wireless transmission capability to ensure a common operational picture for the whole entry team as well as the command post.
With the addition of the Xaver™ 400, Camero now offers products for both the Intelligence, Reconnaissance and Surveillance (ISR) arena and the Tactical Operations/Special Forces arena. Camero’s flagship product, the Xaver™800, has features uniquely suited to ISR applications. Camero builds on a tradition of success, with Xaver™800 sales continuing to grow in military and law enforcement communities around the world. Camero’s success is bolstered by a strong network of partners and resellers in key international and U.S. markets.
“The Xaver™ 400 unit represents a huge leap forward in the evolution of Through-wall sensors,” according to Robert Judd, President of Camero USA. “This product builds on our success with the Xaver™ 800, and incorporates the features Special Operations users have told us they want.”
“Rapid target acquisition, real-time situational awareness and a common operating picture are critical components of Special Forces’ ability to find, fix and finish the enemy. The Xaver™ 400 provides our troops with enhanced capabilities in all three critical areas,” states Lieutenant General (Ret) Philip Kensinger, former commander of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC). “See First, Understand First, Act First. Xaver™ technology is a major enabler of those elements, right at the critical point where troops are making tactical entry decisions.”
Camero’s Xaver™ 400 and Xaver™ 800 will be on display at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC ’08) held 19-22 May at the Tampa Convention Center, Tampa, FLA, booth 638. Private, hands-on demonstrations of both products can be arranged by contacting Camero.
