Thread 64489875

What is that sensor in the forefront?
I found this on the new Slovenian made SHORAD turret called Triglav 25.

it's called a BANS. it's a device for detecting infrared signals

MANGART 25*

Care to elaborate more?

>>64489935
in this particular case it is meant to identify small drone batteries and motors. it could also be used to identify small arms fire and rockets fired from man portable launchers

Google states otherwise:
>An "IR warning system (BANS)" is a Battlefield Anti-aircraft Non-lethal (VSHORAD) System that uses an infrared (IR) signal to simulate a missile launch pattern to fool enemy missile-warning systems.
>It forces aircraft to deploy countermeasures like flares, making them more vulnerable to an actual attack by an anti-aircraft missile. This system increases the probability of a target being hit by a follow-up missile.

>The Mangart 25 is equipped with Rheinmetall's KBA 25 x 137 mm single-barrel automatic cannon. The system can be used against drones, helicopters, low-flying aircraft, and other ground-based aerial targets, as well as ground targets up to three kilometers away. It is equipped with an AESA radar and an electro-optical (EO/IR) system for target detection and tracking. There is also an IR warning system (BANS). Future capabilities will include a laser designator, an acoustic shot detection system, tank and anti-aircraft missiles, drones, and artificial intelligence (AI) for faster and better target detection, identification, and tracking.

Literally every site presents BANS as a non-lethal Battlefield Anti-Aircraft System to deceive aircraft self-protection systems and exhaust countermeasures before engagement.

The guy is right, that's BANS and it's intended to trigger flares on helicopters and planes. It is also not very useful and, as such, isn't used in any of their newer turrets.

it was probably somewhat effective against older 80s-90s MWS systems that didn't use cameras
