HGH receives Henri Kummerman Award 2011
Paris, France - October 19th, 2011: The French Marine Academy awarded HGH Infrared Systems with the Henri Kummerman prize for its innovating contribution to merchant navy and yachting sector. This trophy rewards HGH's commitment in developing IR Revolution 360, the world's only real-time, rotating-head, thermal imaging system for security and surveillance.
IR Revolution 360, product of the year 2008 for NASA Tech Briefs magazine, and winner of Euronaval Innovation Award 2010, was designed to replace multi-camera systems by a cost-effective solution with higher performance for persistent wide area surveillance. This new recognition points out the benefits that this 360-degree Panoramic Infrared Sensor brings to maritime applications such as coastal vigilance, seaport security, fight against piracy, anti-smuggling, anti-collision or search and rescue operations.
IR Revolution 360 has been successfully deployed worldwide, with more than sixty units delivered to Defense and Security markets.
