The Multi-Sensor Mission Equipment Package (MEP) is the result of a program executed by FLIR Systems for the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications and Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), and the Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD). MEP is a Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Target Acquisition with Laser Designator (RSTA+LD) sensor system that sets new standards in size, capability, and performance for EO/IR tactical surveillance systems. Key payload features include both cooled and uncooled infrared (IR) imagers, a digital daylight CCD-TV camera, laser designator and laser rangefinder – all packaged in a system 7” in diameter and weighing 16 pounds.
