MT155T-NN-35-1535 Tri-axis Tri-light pod

The MT155T-NN-35-1535 Tri-axis Tri-light pod is an advanced electro-optical system designed for medium and small-sized UAVs. It integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, 30x continuously zoom visible light camera, laser rangefinder, three-axis servo-stabilized platform, and autonomous image processing for target recognition and tracking. This lightweight, highly stable system enables seamless day and night reconnaissance and surveillance missions. It features automatic target identification, real-time infrared and visible light video output, and seamless integration with mainstream Chinese flight control platforms and ViewControlStudio software. The pod delivers comprehensive operational capabilities including multiple working modes, advanced stabilization, memory tracking, and coordinate calculation via laser ranging. Ideal for reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue, and forest fire prevention applications.

The MT155T-NN-35-1535 electro-optical pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuously zoomable visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo-stabilized platform, and an image processing module capable of autonomous target recognition and tracking. Designed with a lightweight structure, high stability and accuracy, and a high level of integration, the pod supports automatic target recognition and tracking. It is well-suited for medium and small UAVs, enabling day-and-night reconnaissance and surveillance missions over target areas.

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 the overall unit quickly complete the development of UAV systems.

Using the uncooled infrared thermal imager and visible light camera, the electro-optical pod detects, identifies, and tracks ground targets around the clock, outputting real-time infrared and visible light video for mission personnel to view.

Optical pods of this type are widely used in reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue operations, and forest fire prevention.
