MTX120DA-HNV230T635L000 Tri-axis Dual-light pod
China Moneypro
The MTX120DA-HNV230T635L000 is a lightweight tri-axis dual-light optoelectronic pod designed for medium and small-sized UAVs. It combines an uncooled infrared thermal imager, 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, three-axis servo stabilization platform, and advanced image processing with autonomous recognition and tracking capabilities. The pod delivers 24/7 day-night reconnaissance and surveillance, outputting real-time infrared and visible light video. It features automatic target detection, identification, and tracking with memory tracking functionality to recapture briefly lost targets. The system integrates seamlessly with mainstream Chinese flight control platforms and ViewControlStudio software. With 640×512 infrared resolution, 1920×1080 visible resolution, 60x total zoom, and stabilization accuracy of 0.1mrad, it excels in reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue, and forest fire prevention. Operating at 24VDC with under 30W power consumption and weighing under 1kg, it offers exceptional performance in a compact, rugged package suitable for various UAV platforms.
The MTX120DA-HNV230T635L000 optoelectronic pod consists of an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image processing component (autonomous recognition and tracking) . It features lightweight construction, high stability and precision, high integration, automatic target recognition, and automatic tracking, and can be applied to medium and small-sized UAVs to perform day and night reconnaissance and surveillance missions over target areas.
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.
The optoelectronic pod uses an uncooled infrared thermal imager and a visible light camera to detect, identify, and track ground targets around the clock, and outputs infrared and visible light video in real time for mission personnel to view.
Optical pods are mainly used in scenarios such as reconnaissance, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention.
