MS070TA Miniature Two-Axis Tri-Light Pod

I. Product Introduction

The S070TA miniature optoelectronic pod consists of an uncooled infrared thermal imager, long and short focal length visible light cameras (7x hybrid zoom), a two-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image processing component (autonomous recognition and tracking). It features ultra-small size, ultra-light weight, high precision, and low latency, and can be applied to small and micro UAVs to perform day and night reconnaissance and surveillance missions over target areas.

The optoelectronic pod uses an uncooled infrared thermal imager and a visible light camera to detect, identify, and track ground targets around the clock, while simultaneously outputting infrared and visible light video in real time for mission personnel to view.

This miniature pod has been adapted to several mainstream flight control platforms in China, enabling seamless integration with flight control systems; it can also be connected to our ViewControlStudio display and control software platform to assist the overall unit in quickly completing the development of the UAV system.

This optoelectronic pod is mainly used in scenarios such as reconnaissance, guidance, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention.
