RangePRO HPCL-20KO Laser Rangefinder module
(DAI Part# HPCL-20KO)
The RangePRO Model HPCL-20KO is a very compact OEM laser rangefinder module providing an advanced digital rangefinding capability for military, paramilitary and commercial applications. All assemblies are integrated onto a precision bore-sighted platform. It offers higher performance than the smaller HPCL-10KO model, while remaining a spatially economic package.
It integrates with host systems such as weapon, sensing, or surveillance and tracking stations, and thermal imaging cameras. It requires power and control command input, and provides range-to-target and self-diagnostic data output.
The HPCL-20KO ranges at low repetition rates over distances to 30km depending on target size, target reflectivity, atmospheric conditions and customer supplied external optics (typically up to 12km for a vehicle type target).
The transmitter is a collimated eye-safe laser system. It can provide ranging rates from single shot up to 40 per minute, depending on ambient temperature.
The receiver incorporates an APD detector for maximum sensitivity.
The unit is an open frame construction type, unsealed for environmental purposes but enclosed for EM shielding.

Range Determination |
Signals from the detector are digitally sampled and examined to determine all potential real target returns. An adaptive range threshold compensates for changing noise levels, maximising system capability under varying conditions. |
