GSCI QUADRO-G Multi-Spectral Compact Thermal Fusion Goggles ( Helmet/head mountable )

What is a fusion Goggles? For night vision the choice for the military and law enforcement has traditionally been between light intensification and thermal imaging, either amplifying available visible light no matter how low, or using a non-visible part of the spectrum, infrared – each with advantages and disadvantages. Until now. Enter GSCI’s QUADRO-G.

“With the Quadro-G, we’ve taken the core functionality of the Quadro-S and pivoted away from its weapon mounted operation to instead focus on a tactical goggle that is better suited for versatile, short-to-medium range surveillance and reconnaissance,” said Andrew B., lead technician at GSCI. “The Dual-Eyepiece design is paired with a lightweight, helmet-mountable housing that makes the Quadro-G the only true fusion system of its kind. The operator’s safety depends on the reliability and adaptability of their equipment, and we’re proud to say we’ve created a fusion system that does exactly that.”

In case you’re not familiar with this technology yet, GSCI’s fusion systems operate in 4 distinct, manually-cycled modes: thermal, daytime, nighttime, and a day/night hybrid view, aptly named Fusion mode. These channels work together to produce a lag-free video image that gives the operator unmatched situational awareness in any low-light scenario. GSCI’s fusion technology is undeniably considered top-tier within the industry, which is no surprise coming from a company that’s garnered a reputation for high-end, professional-grade devices over the last two decades. The Quadro-G is certainly no exception.

Fusion is the Future

Sensor technology has been expanding across more bands of the electromagnetic spectrum than ever before while getting smaller, lighter and more power efficient, but it still forces the soldier or law enforcement officer to make a choice: visible light or infrared?

It was clear that a better solution would be to combine the advantages of light intensification and infrared so as to overcome their disadvantages. This is what Bertin Technologies, Night Optics, ITT Exelis and Pyser Optics have been doing, but Canada’s General Starlight Company, Inc. (GSCI) might just have done it better in the shape of the QUADRO-G.

The QUADRO-G is the new augmented vision goggles for tactical surveillance and observation at short- and medium-range distances. Along with selecting between visible/near-infrared and far-infrared (thermal) channels individually, GSCI’s Unique Patented technology allows to produce and display real-time, delay-free fusion image that superimposes all ranges of the spectrum from its sensors to successfully detect any target and defy poor lighting or weather conditions. Wide field of view allows for better situation awareness. The unit is small and lightweight, and yet made of a hard-anodized aluminum for added strength and shock resistance. The unit is compatible with most head gears and helmet mounts for hands-free operation.

Thanks to GSCI’s patented multi-sensor technology, the QUADRO-G operates in 4 distinct modes: Thermal, Daytime, Nighttime and a day/night/thermal Hybrid view, also known as the Fusion mode. On top of that, the QUADRO-G comes loaded with many unique features that offer convenience and help give the operator a tactical advantage. The beauty of the QUADRO-G is that with the fusion mode you are never left in pitch darkness. Both channels, complementing each other to produce real-time, no-lag video image and unmatched situation awareness. This is achieved by combining detailed images from the visible/near infrared and long-wave infrared ranges of spectrum. The end result is a superb detection and recognition capability.
