MS230-Q Two-Axle Four-Frame Three-Light Pod

The MS230-Q two-axis, four-frame, three-light pod mainly consists of an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuously zoom visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a two-axis, four-frame servo-stabilized platform, and image processing components (autonomous recognition and tracking) . It features automatic target recognition, ultra-high stability accuracy, and high-precision target positioning, and can be applied to medium and small-sized UAVs and high-speed UAVs to complete tasks such as reconnaissance, positioning, and surveillance of 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.

The 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 the ViewControlStudio display and control software platform of our organization, assisting the overall unit in quickly completing the development of the UAV system.

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