The Falcon’s Eye is intended for military defense purposes. The laser (which is intended to disable enemies) is located on a stand/gimbal that rotates 180 degrees in three axes, located in a waterproof case. When the case is opened, there are two switches and a mini LCD screen on the lid. The stand on which the laser and thermal camera are located is raised ten centimeters to its starting position by pressing. It is directed towards the area that should be defended (covers an angle of 120 degrees), it is leveled, the right safety switch is turned on and it is ready for action. The left switch is used to power the LCD screen. What is special is that it is fully automated and unmanned. The thermal camera covers a certain angle, detects a heat source (finds an enemy), the laser automatically turns towards the focal point and fires a laser beam, i.e. destroys enemies. The name is after the Croatian bird Sokol, and the inscription on the logo is written in the old Croatian Glagolitic script.
