Thales équipe les véhicules de combat des Marines avec la caméra Minerva
Thales Defense & Security，美国子公司，近日获得一笔超过400台 SharpView–Minerva 双光相机的订单，用于升级美国海军陆战队的 ACV（Amphibious Combat Vehicle，两栖战斗车辆）车队。该系统可在昼夜条件下提供热成像与可见光双重观察能力，提升车辆在复杂战场环境中的态势感知与目标识别能力。
这批相机将用于现代化改造 Marine Corps 的 ACV 平台，核心价值在于把热成像与可见光传感整合到同一套观测系统中，使车辆在白天、夜间以及低能见度环境下都能保持稳定的观察能力。对于两栖战斗车辆这类需要在海上、岸滩和陆地多场景切换的装备而言，这类传感器升级有助于提高机动安全性和作战效率。
此次订单也反映出 Thales 在军用光电与车载感知领域持续扩大在美国防务市场的存在。SharpView–Minerva 作为双光相机方案，被选中用于 ACV 现代化项目，说明美军对更高可靠性、更强全天候观察能力的需求正在上升。
Thales Defense & Security, the U.S. subsidiary of Thales, has won an order for more than 400 SharpView–Minerva dual cameras to modernize the U.S. Marine Corps’ ACV combat vehicles. The contract equips the amphibious combat vehicles with both thermal and visible imaging, giving crews day-and-night situational awareness.
The SharpView–Minerva system combines thermal and daylight vision in a single dual-camera package, designed to improve observation and target detection in operational conditions where visibility is limited. The order marks another step in the ongoing upgrade of the Marine Corps’ ACV fleet, which is being fitted with more advanced sensing and surveillance capabilities.
Thales did not disclose the value of the contract in the source article, but the scale of the order — more than 400 units — indicates a significant deployment across the vehicle program.
