MIS118TA Two-Axis Tri-Light Pod

China Moneypro

The MIS118TA Two-Axis Tri-Light Pod is a compact, lightweight targeting system designed for precision strike applications on loitering munitions and UAVs. This advanced pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, high-resolution visible light camera, laser rangefinder, and servo-stabilized two-axis platform with autonomous image tracking capabilities. It autonomously identifies, locks onto, and tracks targets based on thermal or brightness characteristics, outputting critical data including frame angle, line-of-sight angular rate, target distance, and offset angles to the UAV’s intelligent control unit for precision maneuvering and engagement. Weighing only 650 grams with exceptional stability and accuracy, the system features a 640×512 thermal detector with 50mK NETD, 1920×1080 visible camera, and laser ranging up to 180 meters with 5cm accuracy. The servo platform delivers frame corner accuracy within 0.2 degrees and maximum tracking angular velocity of 10 degrees per second. Operating across -40 to +60 degrees Celsius with rapid 15-second power-on self-test, the MIS118TA provides reliable all-weather target acquisition and tracking for modern tactical systems.

The MIS118TA two-axis, three-light pod consists of an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a two-axis servo-stabilized platform, and an image tracker. It features lightweight construction, high stability and accuracy, and high integration, and can be applied to missile bodies to perform tasks such as target engagement.

The IS118TA two-axis, three-light pod can identify and track targets based on their brightness or thermal characteristics, and output information such as frame angle, line-of-sight angular rate, misalignment angle, and target distance to the UAV s intelligent control unit. The intelligent control unit then generates control commands based on the frame angle and other information to maneuver the UAV toward the target and complete a precision strike.

II. Product Functions

a) It has the ability to perform a power-on self-test and send the self-test results to the intelligent control unit:

b) Possesses the ability to autonomously identify, lock onto, and track designated targets;

c) Possesses the ability to identify, lock onto, and track specific parts of a target;

d) It has two modes: ground tracking and normal tracking;

e) It has the ability to output its own frame angle, line-of-sight angular rate and laser ranging information;

f) Possesses the ability to output the target s offset angle information relative to the camera s optical axis:

g) It has the ability to mark multiple individual targets within the field of view and output their corresponding numbers and coordinates (when laser ranging is invalid, it provides angle information);
