Abstract: This paper presents an ISTAR-based model of an optoelectronic multisensor system designed for passive observing, surveying and acquisition of targets. The model is mounted on a vehicle and consists of multiple optoelectronic sensors which generate images in multiple spectral bands whose purpose is better detection, recognition and identification of targets. Apart from optoelectronic sensors, namely a video imager, a thermal imager, and a laser range finder, the model also integrates a GPS receiver, a digital compass, a pan-tilt mechanism, a computer network, control units, and appropriate software for command and control.

Keywords: optoelectronic, multisensor system, surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition.
