Australian Police Tactical Groups - surveillance capabilities?
Wondering if the PTG groups such as the SOG, STAR and TOU around Australia conduct surveillance operations as part of their operational capabilities, or are they simply limited to counter terrorism and hostage rescue?
I have personally done quotes to different governments around the world here is the capabilities they have for surveillance.
I do not know if Australian Tactical Groups use this or not but it is available and used by other agencies like them for anti-terrorism, Military border defence, and search and rescue. They use these cameras at great distances to get intel without anyone knowing though they are normally only used in boarder and coastline deference and for search and rescue.
Bellow is information for Ascendent's Terra Series PTZ Long Range IR Camera that have Active IR of 1KM 2KM 3KM 4KM 5KM 6KM 7KM 8KM 9KM and 10KM.
Superior image quality
The terra series incorporates highly tuned EMCCD imaging equipment that is optimized for long range surveillance to render superb detail rich color by day. While At night or 0lux environments the Terra series intensifies IR light on an electron level while eliminating glare from visible light rendering clean crisp monochrome images. This allows the Terra series to capture minute details at great distances for 24/7 indisputable identification resulting in the prosecution of trespassing parties.
Long Range Zoom Optics
IR optimized optics for 24/7
long range surveillance up to 60,000Ft (20KM) by day and
24,0000Ft (8KM) in 0lux (complete darkness) while maintain excellent clarity.
Making it the choice for homeland security, critical infrastructure, military logistics,
World wide.
Anti-Blooming
Ascendent IRBF blocks visible light emitted from streetlights, and other bright sources from (380-800nm) while increasing sensitivity to IR and laser illuminators (840-870NM). In tandem with are DNR, and 50DB eliminates, blooming, streaking and video noise, and other complications usually associative with IR imaging. Allowing it to overcome virtually any ambient lighting environment including fog, city, waves, complete darkness ect.
True 24/7 operation
The Terra series PTZ is a true 24/7 surveillance solution with viewing distances up to 60,000Ft (20km) by day and 24,000ft (8km) at night. Endless 360 degree PTZ driver allows it to pan tilt and zoom with micro-step technology for quick accurate manual control or automatic operation via intelligent video analytics for flawless uncompromising 24/7 operation.
Longevity and Reliability
The Terra series is comprised of high quality components precision engineered for unparalleled performance and real ability. The heavy duty PTZ driver implements brushless motor technology for endless 360 degree panning And tilting in increments as low as .01 degree. The ASC-500MIRF has an industry leading MFTB of 100,000 IR lifetime. The lasers have an MFTB of 10,000 hours and can illuminate distances of up to 8KM while only drawing 1.7W power. The Continuous zoom IR corrected Optics (10-1000 2x 20-2000mm and 12.5-750nm 2x 25-15000mm) are manufactured by Ray max. All these components can be integrated into a rugged IP67 stainless steel, explosion proof housing to suite installation in most hazardous environments in the world.
Flexible
The terra series is more then simply a long range camera is an complete security management solution that uses IP, analog and megapixel cameras for hybrid operation to for limitless camera options. Not only a CCTV management solution it can also integrate with access control, radar detection and sensors to streamline and increase efficiency of all security systems. These systems can be controlled via wires or wireless networks to effetely control the system up to 500KM away in a LAN network if they have sufficient privileges to do so.
Cost Effecitve
As mentioned above the Terra series has the ability to effectively synchronize, CCTV, Sensors, Access control, allowing all essential security control to be performed unsung only one system which significantly reduces training and personal requirements . To further enhance cost savings the Terra Series allow the system to take advantage of prior security investments and upgrade existing CCTV cameras, sensors and accesses control to provide an affordable solution without compromising performance.
Unmanned Operation
The Terra series PTZ is designed for unmanned operation, sensors can be set to send telemetry to the PTZ when activated to automatically focus where perimeter has been breached. Additionally integrated AVA automatically acquires license plate, facial details, and track intruders for absolute premier control. AVA’s intelligent object detection/tracking /classification and video analysis is control by user specified parameters for accurate unmanned 24/7 operation.
Intelligent Video (AVA)
AVA (Ascendent Video Analytics) is an innovative
product that overcomes the constraints of traditional
CCTV monitoring systems. It boasts a180° panoramic display that allows monitoring of a wide area without blind spots by using 5-8 fixed cameras with an terra PTZ that optically zooms, and acquires identifying details

The ICPS AKA the "Israeli method of Point Shooting" is often regarded as a "shooting style", when it is in fact a small percent of what makes this method unique and extremely effective. The ICPS initial form was adapted from the FSA (Fairbairn, Sykes and Applegate) Point Shooting method, based on the shooter's Instinctive reactions and Kinematics to quickly engage close range targets.
The Major contributed change to ICPS occurred in 1975 with the establishment of the "YAMAM", first Israeli Police fully dedicated Counter Terrorism Unit. Because of its specialty in Counter Terrorism, hostage rescue and high violent crime, the unit performs in actual conflicts particularly in highly populated urban environments. This vast experience enabled the unit to develop comprehensive small arms training doctrines that were so effective, reliable and user friendly, it was generally accepted by all armed branches of the Israeli security forces such as the Secret Service (Shin Bet), elite IDF Units, Israeli National Police and other Intelligence and Counter Terrorism units.
Regarded as a "Tactical Response"and not as a shooting style, it incorporates all necessary progressive battlefield tactical thinking molded into set of Instinctive actions and reactions of the operator. The Israeli shooting method is radically different from other combat techniques; success is based on actual performance.
The ICPS has the distinct advantage of proving itself effective time after time, probably more than any other. It is literally practiced and perfected during daily performance by its core users.
The guiding principle of the ICPS is to neutralize the threat in the quickest way possible, using the natural Instincts inherited in every human. Aggressiveness, determination and speed are integral elements of the ICPS method and proper mindset is heavily stressed.
Stress and pressure (High adrenaline levels) are introduced in the advanced stages of the training in order to accustom trainees to pressure associated with actual events. This approach is specially geared towards deadly force situations rather than shooting competitions, where often times techniques which brings high levels of accuracy on the range, often fail under real life stress.
This very same system has been taught to thousands of civilians from all walks of life in Israel with great success rates of actual performance. The ICPS method has proved itself through experience time after time to be well suited for the private citizen as well as the Law Enforcement officer and the Combat soldier.
