MTX120DB-HNV240T625L000 Tri-axis Dual-light pod

The MTX120DB-HNV240T625L000 is a lightweight tri-axis dual-light optoelectronic pod designed for medium and small-sized UAVs. It combines an uncooled infrared thermal imager, 40x 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 functions to recapture briefly lost targets. The system integrates seamlessly with mainstream Chinese flight control platforms and ViewControlStudio software. Ideal for reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue, and forest fire prevention, it offers exceptional stability, precision, and high integration in a compact design under 1kg.

The MTX120DB-HNV240T625L000 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 40x continuous zoom visible light camera, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image processing module capable of autonomous target recognition and tracking. Featuring a lightweight design, high stability and precision, high level of integration, automatic target recognition, and automatic tracking capabilities, the pod is ideally suited for medium and small-sized UAVs to perform round-the-clock reconnaissance and surveillance missions over target areas.

This pod has been adapted to several mainstream domestic flight control platforms, enabling seamless integration with various flight control systems. It can also be connected to our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping end users rapidly complete the development of complete UAV systems.

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 light video for mission personnel to monitor.

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