Enhanced Aerial Imaging for Critical Missions
The STAR SAFIRE® 380X-HD is a cutting-edge multi-spectral imaging system designed for airborne surveillance, defense, law enforcement, search and rescue (SAR), and firefighting operations. Its advanced image aiding features, including a moving target indicator (MTI), enhanced auto-tracker, and de-scintillation filter, provide unparalleled clarity, even at long distances.
The system's AR mapping overlays and multi-tile video management improve situational awareness, enabling operators to detect and respond to threats faster. With customizable configurations and external video input capabilities, the STAR SAFIRE® 380X-HD offers a flexible and powerful solution for high-stakes missions.

MULTI-TILE, ALL PAYLOADS View all payloads at once, including external video input from another system in the air or on the ground with multi-tile management options. |
SUPERIOR CLARITY AND DETECTION Operators can see more details with de-scintillation filter, designed to remove atmosphere effects and obscurants that would otherwise reduce detection ability |
LESS CLUTTER, MORE ACTION The new user interface contains customizable, icon-based graphics (GUI), to expedite inputs when needed during the mission. Saved profiles and a decluttered active screen immediately reduce operator workload. |
AR MAPPING OVERLAYS Augmented reality mapping overlays help improve situational awareness for the operator by showing customized importable graphics and locations on the live video with the ability to slew to cue to them. |
IMPROVED TARGETING WITH MTI Identify threats earlier with Moving Target Indicator (MTI), now fully embedded in the system. Operators have increased situational awareness without a separate LRU. |
