SLD 500 sets the scene for sniper detection

Article Abstract:

CILAS presented the model of its new surveillance and sniper-detection system, SLD 500, built after receiving the contract from the French defence ministry which was a part of the DGA (Delegation Generale pour l'Armement's) DAOTE (Detection Acousto-Optronique de Tireurs Embusques) programme in 2003. The SLD 500, which started trials in November 2005, is an evolution of the SLD 400 laser-sight detector, which CILAS first delivered to the French armed forces for service in the Balkans in the mid-1990s.
