The VOSS allows ground troops to engage in stand-off route clearance activities and long range surveillance of insurgent personnel activities. The VOSS consists of a surveillance system possessing day color camera, an intensified low light level TV camera (LLLTV), a thermal camera, with zoom capabilities, pointing, with stabilization capabilities assuring high image quality when the vehicle is running or on the move; a Controller that serves as the interface between the user and system; a ruggedized monitor that displays imagery; and telescoping capability that raises and lowers the camera system; a Digital Video Recorder that records images for later use; and a processor that integrates and links the various subsystems together, and a laser range-finding capability. The VOSS is mounted on various Mine Protection Vehicles (MPVs) and is in use while on the move, traveling at speeds up to 35 kph. VOSS enables route clearing teams riding on MPVs to detect, locate, analyze and engage suspected Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) from a safe distance, as they patrol and secure roads for patrols or supply convoys.
