Euronaval 2018: Controp Launches TORNADO-ER Detection System
The new system is designed to detect multiple mobile targets simultaneously, in real-time. Applications include port security, Vessel Traffic System (VTS), coastal surveillance and protection, and maritime border control

Controp Precision Technologies will launch the TORNADO-ER, an Electro-Optical panoramic scanning and automatic maritime target detection system, at Euronaval 2018, to be held this week in Paris. The TORNADO-ER system is designed for coastal surveillance and protection and for maritime traffic control, particularly for dense waters. The system provides a 360° panoramic IR image up to the horizon of all maritime views, the company says. The image is updated continuously with automatic and simultaneous detection of any moving target in the water.
The TORNADO-ER includes two InfraRed (IR) thermal imaging cameras that provide a real-time, panoramic image from short to long distances. The system enables the simultaneous detection of moving targets – including swimmers, vessels of all sizes, small vessels on the background of larger vessels, and small floating objects. According to the company, these capabilities enhance the protection and situational awareness of coastlines, waterways, seashores, ports, and harbors.
Main features of the TORNADO-ER include 360° scanning every three seconds, with high Probability of Detection (PD) and low False Alarm Ratio (FAR). In addition, the TORNADO-ER acts as an Electro-Optical “Radar” for target detection – from 400m to more than 12km, resulting in a wide panoramic live image output as well as enhanced video analytics. The TORNADO-ER consists of a gyro-stabilized gimbal which is suitable for operation in all weather conditions. The system is passive, insensitive to RF jamming, and may be used either as a standalone, or combined with external systems. Applications include port security, Vessel Traffic System (VTS), coastal surveillance, and maritime border control.
According to Hagay Azani, CEO and President of Controp, “The TORNADO-ER was specially developed to maximize coastal security through the use of today’s most advanced technologies. Detecting multiple mobile targets simultaneously, in real-time – at the shore and at sea, at long and short distances – the TORNADO-ER ensures true border control. The system is already operational in Asia, and based on exceptionally positive feedback, we expect to generate considerable interest at the Euronaval exhibition.”
