MTX108TA-HNV210T625L151 Tri-axis Tri-light pod

The MTX108TA-HNV210T625L151 is an advanced tri-axis tri-light optoelectronic pod designed for medium and small-sized UAVs. It integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, 10x continuously zoom visible light camera, laser rangefinder, three-axis servo stabilization platform, and autonomous image processing for target recognition and tracking. Weighing just 1.1kg with compact dimensions, this lightweight system delivers high stability and accuracy for day and night reconnaissance and surveillance missions. Features include automatic target detection and tracking, real-time infrared and visible light video output, multiple working modes, and seamless integration with mainstream Chinese flight control platforms and ViewControlStudio software. The pod operates reliably in temperatures from -20 to +55 degrees Celsius and can fly in light rain. Ideal applications include reconnaissance, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention operations.

The MTX108TA-HNV210T625L151 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 10x continuously zoomable visible-light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo-stabilized platform, and an image processing module featuring autonomous target recognition and tracking. Designed to be lightweight yet highly stable and accurate, this high-integration solution supports automatic target recognition and tracking, making it ideal for day-and-night reconnaissance and surveillance missions on small to medium-sized UAVs.

The pod has been successfully adapted to multiple mainstream flight control platforms in China, ensuring seamless integration with existing flight control systems. It can also interface with 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 pod enables all-weather detection, identification, and tracking of ground targets, while outputting real-time infrared and visible video feeds for mission operators.

Typical applications include reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue operations, and forest fire prevention.
