> GLOW Green Light Optical Warner Overview Effective Laser Warning Thales is a world leader in the field of ElectroOptical CounterMeasures (EOCM), with the design and manufacture of systems to provide a non-lethal response to the increasing range of conventional and asymmetric threats. GLOW can also be used by Police and Private Security Companies to guard fixed assets and perimeters and to warn aggressors during civil unrest. Thales has designed a range of laser based non-lethal electro-optical countermeasure systems which can be used to defend against a wide variety of threats whether they be on land, at sea or in the air. Non-lethal systems can be used to provide protection against potential aggressors at vital points such as civil or military installations, vehicle checkpoints and convoys. They are designed to enhance the safety and capability of forces in peacekeeping operations and especially in areas where civilians and insurgents are difficult to differentiate. www.thalesgroup.com/uk GLOW is a gun-mounted laser warner which uses an intense green light to warn personnel approaching peacekeeping forces that they are under suspicion and should not approach further. GLOW can be gun mounted using a Picatinney Rail, operated remotely or used handheld with a pistol grip or stock. GLOW is an additional step in Force Escalation for the military, aiding the determination of intent and degrading the ability of the aggressor to take offensive action. GLOW features a choice of narrow or wide beams: The Wide beam is for use at close quarters in the urban scenario and the Narrow beam is used longer range. In both modes the beam can be pulsed to give a higher level of warning. GLOW features a wide environmental range of operation and a consistently high quality of beam to ensure target coverage. GLOW Green Light Optical Warner GLOW is in serial production by Thales and is available for immediate delivery. • Non-lethal, non damaging effect* aligns with complex rules of engagement • Provides both continuous and pulsed modes of operation • Features real-time selectable Narrow angle or Wide angle beam, to allow an instantaneous response to meet a variety of operational scenarios • Can be operated without affecting the operators ability to escalate to lethal force if required • Can be fitted and bore-sighted to many currently available individual weapons via a universal rapid attachment system • Continuous integrated Built–In–Test provides constant system status awareness to the operator • Zero field maintenance system • Supplied with operator instructions, installation kit and carrying case Technical Specifications Range up to 50m (wide FOV) and up to 350m (narrow FOV) Modes Continuous and Pulse, Narrow and Wide Spot sizeConfigurable Battery life up to six hours mission on AA batteries * when used in accordance with Manufacturers Operating Instructions THALES UK 1 Linthouse Road Glasgow, G51 4BZ Tel: +44 (0)141 440 4000 Fax: +44 (0)141 440 4001 email: [email protected] QR CODE Glow mounted on a handheld pistol grip/stock Ref: GLOW_08_11 GLOW is in service with several countries including the UK. The principle of warning has been tested and proven over a period of several years where GLOW has been shown to save lives in the ambiguous asymmetric situations often encountered in modern conflict. Use of GLOW is seen as a positive demonstration of commitment to the safety of the community in which it is being used. • Effective laser warning © Thales 2011 The effect of the system is non-damaging* allowing use during peacetime and pre and post conflict situations. The authority to deploy can be given to troops on the ground, enabling an instantaneous response when the situation demands. Features and Benefits Thales has a policy of continuous development and improvement and consequently the equipment may vary from the description and specification in this document. This document may not be considered as a contract specification. Graphics do not indicate use or endorsement of the featured equipment or services. GLOW has a unique and robust level of safety. It features dual independent safety measures which continually monitor the level of output to ensure that it falls within the specified values. This has helped GLOW gain full legal, medical and ethical clearance with UK forces before going into service. Green Light Optical Warner GLOW
