Sonoma M12 DS/TS 650™
The next generation of M12 long range imaging turrets

The M12-650™ is next step in the evolution of the Model 12 family of surveillance turrets.  Based on the highly successful M12-DS/TS-200, the M12-650™ leverages MAST (Multi-Axis Stabilization Technology), a high performance 5-axis stabilization design.  The M12-650™ is equipped with the latest sensor technology and the M12 family has proven its exceptional reliability, flying for over fifteen years on rotary, fixed wing and unmanned platforms.  Our low cost 12” surveillance system is specifically designed for platforms that require lower weight solutions without sacrificing imaging performance.   

The M12-650™ sets the performance and value standard in its class through the following features and benefits.

	5 Field of View optics— optimized to provide Law Enforcement with superior resolution and improved stand- off range
	Extraordinary detection and classification of objects in total darkness and/or poor weather conditions.
	640 X 512 pixel, large detector format IR sensor
	36X Low Light Color Daylight Television sensor with auto-focus
	Closely matched Field of View between IR and EO allowing quick target detection in IR, and re-acquisition using a color EO sensor
	Local Area Contrast Enhancement (LACE) provides advanced image contrast and detail improvement
	Excellent stability (<25µradians) represents a 30% improved stability over the M12 200 turrets and a >50% improvement compared to typical 9” systems. The improved stability provides the ability to fully utilize the longer range optics integrated into the M12-650™. Stability is a key component to image resolution, critical to achieving long stand-off identification of targets.
	The M12-650™ packs the performance punch of a much larger turret, into a lightweight 12” unit.
	The M12-650™ uses common components with existing M12 200 turrets and a common set of interior avionics.  This permits departments to easily fly mixed-fleet systems
	Cost effective upgrade path for older systems to the new M12-650™ configuration
