3 Background and Status Since 1982, TAMAM has been involved in upgrading programs to provide attack helicopters with laser ranging, designation and night attack capabilities. NTS Night Targeting System developed by TAMAM under sole-source contract from the US Marine Corps and the Israel Air Force, has accumulated considerable operational use, with both the USMC and the IAF Cobra Helicopters. TAMAM s systems of the NTS family are in full operational use with US, Israeli, and other customers. They have the full flexibility of integration with different armaments and weapons systems, such as, II, Hellfire and others. More than 450 systems of the NTS family have already been ordered for different customers around the world, with more in years to come. This ensures a continuous process of improvement and guarantees dependable logistic support over the entire life cycle of the system. TAMAM s Super NTS is a new version of the proven NTS, with enhanced performance and is suitable for a wide range of different attack helicopters (including the AH-1W, 1F, 1S, and 1P Cobras, Agusta A-129 and others). In the Super NTS, the original optical tube is removed, freeing up valuable space in the helicopter cockpit, allowing the use of flat-panel displays, and allowing the system to be compatible with many different types of attack helicopters. Super NTS has the following proven capabilities: Target acquisition during day, night and under limited visibility conditions, using the following sensors: State-of-the-art second generation TDI MCT (8-12 µm) or third generation FPA InSb (3-5 µm). Color/monochrome TV camera for both daylight and low light conditions. (This replaces the original M-65/NTS Optical Relay Tube). Laser Designator and Rangefinder for ranging and for designating to laser-guided weapons. Laser Spot Tracker for cooperation with other forces with laser designating capability (such as aircraft, helicopters and ground troops). Advanced video tracker for auto-tracking during both day and night, significantly lowering the crew s workload. Guidance for all types of, Hellfire and other missiles. Fully automatic in-flight boresight for maximum accuracy throughout the mission. Navigation and tactical data display, including present position, target coordinates and direction. Display of and TV imagery on Multi-Function Display in both Gunner s and Pilot s cockpits High performance Built-In-Test (BIT). High MTBF and low MTTR provide very high system availability. Super NTS was especially designed for high reliability and maintainability. Built-in growth potential for future integration with other onboard systems, via two 1553b data buses.
