Press Release, Tel Aviv, 22 April 2020: PCO S.A. of Poland and RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems of Israel have signed a Memorandum Of Understandings for co-production of TOPLITE electro-optical systems (EOS) in Poland.

The main purpose of this cooperation is the modernisation of Polish Mi-24 helicopters. The two companies have been cooperating since 2007 for supply of optoelectronic heads for Poland’s Głuszec helicopters. Under the MOU, PCO S.A. will be the only supplier of TOPLITE systems for recipients from Poland. Under this agreement, PCO S.A. will become part of the supplier chain under other RAFAEL programmes.

The TOPLITE EOS family is an advanced multi-sensor, multi-purpose, highly stabilised EO/ISR solution for homeland security and defence applications. It is used for a variety of applications on different platforms for intelligence/data collection, surveillance, reconnaissance and weapon direction.

TOPLITE is mature, proven and fielded in more than 20 countries in all branches of the armed forces. It incorporates up to seven sensors for detection, tracking, identification, and targeting. TOPLITE EOS enables automatic or manual monitoring and investigation using its advanced control unit, Situational Awareness (SAW) and Image processing package. TOPLITE EOS is derived from the LITENING targeting and navigation pod, of which RAFAEL has sold and supplied over 1600 units. It therefore enjoys all the latest developments made for the world’s leading targeting system. TOPLITE EOS features an extensive growth potential, enabling its utilisation for many years in a changing operational environment. This growth potential will be realised in advanced sensor integration and unique image enhancement techniques.

TOPLITE is an integral part of Rafael’s air defence systems and naval systems, and is fully integrated with SPIKE missile family on Helicopters and other platforms.
