The ReTob apparatus for an airspace observer is designed to detect low-flying targets by means of day and night vision in an area not covered by radar means.
The 3D information obtained about the detected targets is transmitted to the command and control site by radio or metal link for further processing.
The observer’s apparatus consists of a tripod, goniometer, sensors, a rugged laptop and communication and navigation tools.
ReTob has been introduced into the armament of the Czech Armed Forces as part of the RACCOS system.
