MTX108IA-HNV000T635L000 Tri-axis Single-Light Pod

The MTX108IA-HNV000T635L000 Tri-axis Single-Light Pod is an advanced optoelectronic system designed for medium and small-sized UAVs. It combines an uncooled infrared thermal camera, three-axis servo stabilization platform, and intelligent image processing for autonomous target recognition and tracking. Weighing under 700 grams with compact dimensions, this lightweight pod delivers high stability and precision for day and night reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Features include real-time infrared and visible light video output, automatic target detection and tracking, multiple operating modes, and memory tracking capability. The pod integrates seamlessly with mainstream Chinese flight control platforms and ViewControlStudio software. With 640×512 infrared resolution, 12.5-degree field of view, and exceptional stabilization accuracy of 0.1 millirad, it excels in reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue, and forest fire prevention applications. Operating on 24V DC with minimal power consumption, it supports serial and Ethernet connectivity for bidirectional control station communication.

The MTX108IA-HNV000T635L000 optoelectronic pod integrates an infrared camera, a three-axis servo-stabilized platform, and an image processing unit capable of autonomous target recognition and tracking. Designed with lightweight construction, high stability and precision, and a high degree of integration, the pod supports automatic target recognition and tracking. It is well-suited for medium- and small-sized UAVs, enabling round-the-clock reconnaissance and surveillance over target areas.

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

Equipped with an uncooled infrared thermal imager and a visible light camera, the optoelectronic pod can detect, identify, and track ground targets day and night. It outputs real-time infrared and visible light video for mission personnel to monitor.

Typical applications of the optical pod include reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue operations, and forest fire prevention.
