The THOR Targeting System is a modular and highly configurable precision Target Acquisition System for extending capability of In-Service hand held EO sensors including multi sensor configurations. The system is configured around Instro's Target Acquisition Software application, which is supplied preloaded to a compact targeting computer with built-in GPS capability.
In service EO sensors are mounted on Instro's THOR goniometer for precise control of line of sight and accurate azimuth and vertical angle measurement. The Thor is compatible with Instro's lightweight Tripods for a wide range of operational heights ranging from prone through to standing. The system is configurable to accept range data from in service equipment such as laser rangefinders and designators along with positional data from external hand held GPS units.
Angle data from the Thor goniometer is combined with range and observer position data by Instro's Target Acquisition Software to compute observed location coordinates with great accuracy for immediate display or saved to a target database for later use. Thor Targeting System is compatible with Instro's Solar, Digital magnetic and Gyro compass modules and can be configured to use positional and north orientation data from the mounted sensor if desired.
