MS220TB Two-Axis Tri-Light Pod
Integrated high-altitude heating system with active window de-icing and anti-fogging capability.
The system incorporates an integrated high-altitude heating module, providing active window de-icing and anti-fogging to maintain clear optical performance in extreme cold and high-altitude operating conditions.
The MS220TB electro-optical pod integrates a cooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuously zooming visible-light camera, a laser rangefinder, a two-axis servo-stabilized platform, and an image processing module featuring autonomous identification and tracking capabilities. Designed with high precision and a long operational range, the pod is well-suited for medium and small-sized UAVs to conduct round-the-clock reconnaissance and surveillance missions over target areas.
Equipped with a cooled infrared thermal imager and a visible-light camera, the optoelectronic pod enables all-weather detection, identification, and tracking of ground targets. It simultaneously outputs real-time infrared and visible-light video for mission personnel to monitor.
The pod has been adapted to several mainstream flight control platforms in China, allowing seamless integration with 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, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention.
