The IMAGO XG was used to successfully track charge1, charge3 and charge4 mortars. The tracker was set up using a standard pan/tilt equipped with a 300mm and 800mm lens. The mortars were acquired 2 to 4 km from the camera, and the chute deployment occurred ~ 1.5 km from the camera. The FAS recorded images at 58 Hz from both cameras simultaneously.

Note the 300mm lens caputured the canister and parachute in every frame. The 800mm the canister and parachute were out of the image for 1 to 8 frames. However, the narrow field caught the explosion, chute deployment, deceleration and drift to the ground.
