Optics 1

ECOTI adds a thermal overlay to the image intensified (I2) NVD scene without modification of existing hardware. It is used in extreme low-light, no-light or foliated conditions where I2 devices are limited. ECOTI improves situational awareness and increases threat detection capabilities. Its low-power consumption, thermal sensor technology and high-performance optics integrate seamlessly to provide long-wave infrared capability. With the ability to mount on NVDs with a bracket, the need to refit helmets with special equipment is eliminated. It also comes in two configurations, one with an internal battery and one with external battery.

Clip and Go

The E-COTI easily attaches to existing Night Vision Devices (NVDs) to increase threat detection and situational awareness.  Low-power consumption, thermal sensor technology, and high-performance optics integrate seamlessly to provide state-of-the-art long-wave infrared capability.  With the ability to mount on NVDs with a bracket, the need to refit helmets with special equipment is eliminated.  Along with being able to withstand the harshest environments, the E-COTI's rugged construction is waterproof to 66 ft.

Works with legacy and Recently Fielded NVDs

The E-COTI enhances the functionality of NVDs by adding a thermal image overlay to the image intensified (I²) scene without modification of existing hardware.  Used in extreme low-light, no-light, or foliated conditions where I² devices are limited, E-COTI improves situational awareness and increases threat detection capabilities.  The E-COTI system allows for custom configuration to meet individual user needs.  

Ease of Use

The compact and lightweight E-COTI attaches to NVDs in mere seconds without tools using a simple bracket. 

Augmented Reality

E-COTI's Augmented Reality capability provides a Heads-Up Display (HUD) with navigation and route execution as well as real-time, geo-referenced, XML-based augmented reality.  When used with Android devices, the NVD becomes a remote HUD display for identifying teammates, targets, and route points.  The E-COTI allows the ability to keep eyes on the mission while the HUD eliminates the need to stop and look down at a screen.

The navigation capability utilizes KML and GPX formats from Google Earth® and similar programs for simple route planning.  Along with route execution, the built-in 16GB SD card provides on-board storage for image capture (>10,000 .TIF images), navigation tracks, and marking capability.  AIR-based routes provide real-time altitude and glide ratio 3D Landing Point information for navigation under canopy.
