Bright future for Megaray

Message par k_adel »

Megaray, the Johannesburg company which designs and markets long range searchlights systems, is changing the way lighting systems are used in the international private and government defence and security sectors and is selling hundreds of units to global customers.

According to Grant Cornish, International Sales Manager at Megaray, the security and defence sectors are the main focus markets for Megaray. However, Megaray has also been known for its various ventures in the private sector.

Over the past few months Megaray has sold several hundred units to various defence units around the world. “We sell a lot of units to the navy which aids them in search and rescue,” and :rambo5: combatting ship piracy. Cornish also said that, “Megaray has proven itself on the border security front and many other applications.”

Some of Megaray’s customers include Vietnam, the US military, Royal Navy, Taiwanese Navy and South African Army. “While we’re very busy we’re hardly scratching the surface,” he told defence Web.

Megaray was present at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) 2013 in Abu Dhabi last month. The company said that it had received a large number of orders at the show. Megaray has been at several editions of IDEX over the past few years, with great success.

“We are actually very busy. The orders are coming in from all around the world,” said Leonard Friedland, the Managing Director of Megaray. Customers “are starting to understand what light can do. As a non-lethal technology, it’s one of the most useful,” Friedland said, pointing out that if you take away someone’s ability to see, that person becomes useless and is no longer a threat. “A blind soldier is no soldier.” Cornish added that, “We are not there to promote violence – we are there to stop it.”

Megaray specialises in the manufacture of high powered military grade searchlights aimed at defence forces, police services, game rangers, energy companies, bridge inspectors etc. The company has developed three main products, including the 5 km range MR4300 searchlight, the smaller 3 km range MR2175 and compact handheld or tripod mounted 3 km range MR175 M2. Infrared lenses are also incorporated with the units for covert or semi-covert use.

The MR2175 can be mounted on weapons, including .50 calibre guns and mini-guns, while the MR4300 can be remote controlled in conjunction with CCTV surveillance up to 5 km from operator. Megaray’s products are certified for military use with an MSN number and have been tested by Gerotek and SABS in South Africa.

One of the biggest features of Megaray’s products is its strobe system. It has been medically proven that a light strobing at around 8 Hz disorients and disables, as the aroused human brain operates at 8 Hz, causing an oscillating effect and disorientation. Cornish said the company’s products are “soft weapons” and can be used for crowd control, counter-piracy and counter-sniper applications, or search and rescue, for example.

Friedland said that Megaray was founded in 1986. His company initially manufactured night vision equipment but in the 1980s began producing searchlights for Armscor for South African police and military use. The searchlight design was sold to Avitronics but was later bought back by Megaray. The company will shortly release its Megaray 3000 series, designed for vehicle mounts but featuring a clip on handle and all other characteristics of the various models produced by Megaray that include ship and gun mountings, and will include remote control feature as with the MR4300 range, and also covert and semi-covert lenses allowing the unit to be used as a mobile, handheld, weapon-mounted unit.

Le Megaray portatif MR175 est une lampe de très recherche de très haute intensité qui permet une distance d’illumination exceptionnelle.

Fort de 11 millions de candela (17000 lumens), cette lampe de recherche vous permet d’éclairer jusqu’à 3,5 km de distance.

Le megaray est fait en matériau composite chargé en fibre de verre d’une robustesse à toute épreuve et aux normes militaire. Il est équipé d’une poignée pour pouvoir le tenir et l’orienter facilement tel un pistolet. Cette ergonomie offre ainsi une utilisation intuitive aux utilisateurs déjà familiarisés avec l’usage d’un pistolet.

Une veste à bandoulière vous permet de transporter facilement le MR175 avec son pack batterie.

Le Megaray MR 175 est compact et résistant à l’eau. Il ne pèse que 3,9 kg, un poids particulièrement léger pour une telle performance d’illumination.

Le projecteur est muni d’un zoom qui permet un ajustement manuellement du faisceau d’éclairage de 2° à 6°. Au besoin, il est même possible de rajouter un filtre diffusant qui diffusera le faisceau sur 74°, tout simplement impressionnant !

Le Megaray MR175 peut se fixer sur un pied photo standard ainsi que sur un large choix de plateformes, ce qui en fait un outil très souple d’utilisation dans différents champs d’application.

2 filtres IR (850nm et 900 nm), proposés en option, permettent d’étendre les champs d’application du MR 175 pour une utilisation discrète lors d’opérations militaires ou de police.

Le megaray est idéal dans les champs d’application suivant :

- Police et sécurité publique

- Recherches militaires

- Patrouille des frontières

- Recherche et sauvetage

- Détection de tireurs isolés

- Dissuasion : manifestations / émeutes

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Le commutateur à trois modes d’éclairage vous permet de modifier le faisceau d’éclairage du mode lumineux maximal, au mode lumineux moyen et au mode stroboscope à volonté.

La batterie Lithium Polymer offre une autonomie de 100 minutes en flux lumineux maximal continu, une autonomie de 180 minutes en mode lumineux moyen, et une autonomie de 210 minutes en mode stroboscope .

Le Megaray MR175 est sans aucun doute le projecteur portatif le plus puissant du marché à ce jour et d’une qualité sans commune mesure. Son ergonomie, sa supériorité technique et les normes de qualités très élevés de sa fabrication, vous permet de vous reposer entièrement sur son efficacité et sa fiabilité.

The company is part of a group of companies associated with lighting over the last 25 years.

It has specialised in ultra high intensity portable and mobile searchlights. The company employs a number of specialist engineers who have core competencies in optics, opto mechanics, thermal management, electronics and software.

The company has had requests from foreign military organizations to design and develop purpose made lights.

Its current range goes from the highly successful Megaray ® 175 hand held model to the latest Megaray ® 4000 series for use with CCTV surveillance in a fixed position as well as in a mobile configuration and is computer controlled as well as by a hand held control box. It has an effective illumination range of 5km and can offer IR illumination as well.

To be released shortly is the Megaray 2000 series that has a patent application for a vehicle mount as well as a clip on handle making it operable as a mobile hand held unit.

Magaray continues to be the world leader in lighting technology and continues to pursue an active program of R&D.

It has sales around the world with more and more interest being shown for its products by military, police, border patrols, search and rescue and riot control.
