Inventra exhibited its reconnaissance and surveillance product line at IDEF 2023, the 16th International Defence Industry Fair, held in Istanbul from 25 to 28 July 2023.
The fair took place at the TÜYAP Fair Convention and Congress Center. It was hosted by the Ministry of National Defence and run under the management and responsibility of the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) and the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation (TSKGV). It brought together 1,461 companies from 55 countries.
On the Inventra stand the product line was presented not as separate items but as the chain a surveillance system is built from.
What was shown
Sensor systems. The stabilised thermal and day gimbal family covered both uncooled long-wave infrared (LWIR) and cooled mid-wave infrared (MWIR) channels. Its electro-optical (EO) channel offered 1920×1080 resolution and 30× optical zoom, with laser rangefinding (LRF) and image-processing target tracking. Current models are listed on the Thermal Imagers page.
Motion systems. Single and dual axis electromechanical positioners were shown, including the rotator class used for continuously rotating apertures. Current models are listed on the Pan-Tilt & Positioning Systems page.
Elevation systems. The telescopic mast range ran from compact screw-driven units sized for small vehicles up to the spindle-driven platforms that hold stability at full extension. Current models are listed on the Mast Systems page.
Why the chain, not the catalogue
Most enquiries at an exhibition begin with one element, such as a camera or a mast, and end up describing all three. Showing the line assembled was meant to shorten that conversation: a visitor could see the payload interface, the positioner it mounts to and the mast that carries them, and ask about the three constraints together rather than in sequence.
Conversations that opened with a sensor question almost always finished at the mast, because the question behind them was an angular one: how accurately the system points is decided at the top of the structure, not inside the camera. A visitor comparing detectors is really comparing systems, and the part that will use up the error budget is usually the part they had not planned to ask about.
The Applications pages follow the same order: the selection starts with the sensor or payload, continues with the positioner and ends with the mast or carrier. Working through the chain in that order is faster than starting from a product name.
