MS140TA-NNV230T635L305 Two-axis, three-light pod

The MS140TA-NNV230T635L305 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuously zoomable visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a two-axis servo-stabilized platform, and an image processing module capable of autonomous target identification and tracking. With high precision and low latency, it is well-suited for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) conducting round-the-clock reconnaissance and surveillance over target areas.

Equipped with the uncooled infrared thermal imager and the visible light camera, the pod enables all-weather detection, identification, and tracking of ground targets. It simultaneously outputs real-time infrared and visible light video feeds for mission personnel to monitor.

The pod has been adapted to several mainstream flight control platforms in China, allowing seamless integration with existing flight control systems. It can also be connected to our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping the overall unit rapidly complete UAV system development.

Typical applications of this optoelectronic pod include reconnaissance, target guidance, border patrol, search and rescue operations, and forest fire prevention.
