BAE cameras enhance visibility
BAE Systems will provide Oshkosh Corporation with thermal cameras for 2,399 mine-resistant, ambush-protected all-terrain vehicles (M-ATVs), under a $45m (£30m) multi-year contract.

The BAE Check-6 system features infrared camera systems installed inside the vehicles’ taillight housings and provide visibility in daylight, darkness and adverse weather.
