SPEED-ER is Controp Precision Technologies' Israeli extended-range multispectral EO/IR surveillance system for stationary, mast, tower, and fixed/mobile land installations. Public Controp, defense-reporting, and U.S. market-survey sources describe a gyro-stabilized visible, MWIR thermal, and SWIR sensor package used for long-range coastal, border, vessel-traffic, force-protection, targeting, and C-UAS observation; no direct conflict-use record is attached here.
SPEED-ER is treated here as the extended-range member of Controp's SPEED land-surveillance line; later SPEED-LR reporting describes a lower-cost long-range family member with shared multispectral design ideas.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
| SPEED-LR | Later long-range family member | EDR Magazine reported SPEED-LR as a newer SPEED-family system providing about 70 percent of SPEED-ER range performance at a lower cost, so it is kept as family context rather than an alias.

SPEED-ER is documented in a coastal-surveillance suite where a panoramic scanner detects contacts and SPEED-ER provides longer-range observation and target investigation.

SPEED-ER is best read as a long-range observation sensor inside wider surveillance architectures. Public sources describe it as the detailed investigation sensor in a TORNADO-ER coastal-surveillance suite and as part of Controp USA's VICTOR maritime-surveillance package.
EDR Magazine describes TORNADO-ER as detecting moving maritime targets and cueing SPEED-ER for closer examination and location detail.
The SPEED-ER sensor package combines daylight, MWIR thermal, and SWIR observation channels, with laser ranging noted in public suite reporting.
The relationship sources support surveillance integration and product packaging; they do not directly document SPEED-ER use in a named armed conflict.
Defense Update reported Controp's SPEED-ER unveiling as a gyro-stabilized, land-based observation system using visible, MWIR thermal, and SWIR channels.
