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

The MS230-Q is a two-axis, four-frame, three-light optoelectronic pod, primarily composed of an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a two-axis four-frame servo-stabilized platform, and image processing modules (featuring autonomous recognition and tracking). It offers automatic target recognition, ultra-high stabilization accuracy, and high-precision target positioning. The pod is suitable for deployment on medium-to-small UAVs as well as high-speed UAVs to perform reconnaissance, positioning, and surveillance missions over target areas.

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

The pod has been adapted to several mainstream flight control platforms in China, ensuring seamless integration with flight control systems. It can also be connected to our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping system integrators accelerate UAV system development.

This optoelectronic pod is mainly used in reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue operations, and forest fire prevention.
