ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to improvements in airborne, marine, and/or moving vehicle-carried, stabilized high resolution long-range surveillance systems, which are based on a stabilized platform, TV cameras and a lens with a relatively long focal length. The improvement overcomes almost absolutely the problems due to residual remaining vibrations that are inherent in the stabilized platform. The system comprises mechanical stabilizing structure adapted to reduce vibrations and especially to eliminate or at least drastically reduce high frequency vibrations, a TV sensor, optionally including or coupled in intensifying electro-optical imaging structure, an optical lens and exposure control structure so as to record the image on the sensor for a period of time which is much shorter than the usual television frame time.
