ACS presents MPASK – Man-Portable Ambush Surveillance Kit.

MPASK is a compact, lightweight, self-contained surveillance kit specifically designed for easy transport and rapid field deployment with the intention of providing technological surveillance support (short-range detection & recognition) to tactical military forces, security and law enforcement units.

MPASK incorporates a K-band ground Radar with a day/night electro-optical sensor in a man-portable kit powered by its own battery pack.

Carried and operated by a single trooper, MPASK may be deployed in the field and operated either locally or remotely through a universal user interface (optional).

Various communication and display solutions are offered as optional equipment according to client requirements.

Offering short-range (500 to 1,000 meters) detection and recognition and 3 to 11 hours of continuous operation (depending on the number of batteries), MPASK offers effective tactical surveillance support for border defense operations, ambush operations, special operations, HLS activities and any other activity where technological surveillance support is required.
