MTX120VA-HNV255T000L000 Tri-axis Single-Light Pod

The MTX120VA-HNV255T000L000 Tri-axis Single-Light Pod is a lightweight, highly integrated optoelectronic system featuring a 55x continuously zoom visible light camera designed for medium and small-sized UAVs. This advanced pod delivers automatic target recognition and tracking capabilities for comprehensive day and night reconnaissance and surveillance missions. It seamlessly integrates with mainstream Chinese flight control platforms and ViewControlStudio software for rapid UAV system development. The pod provides real-time infrared and visible light video output for mission personnel. Key features include 1920×1080 resolution, autofocus and manual focus modes, 0.01 Lux minimum illumination, three-axis stabilization with 0.1mrad accuracy, and multiple operating modes including heading lock, manual search, and automatic tracking. Advanced functions encompass memory tracking for target recapture, adjustable gate sizing, and bidirectional communication via serial port or 100Mbps Ethernet. The system weighs under 1kg, operates on 24VDC with low power consumption, and functions reliably in temperatures from -20 to +55 degrees Celsius. Ideal for reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue, and forest fire prevention applications.

The MTX120VA-HNV255T000L000 optoelectronic pod is equipped with a 55× continuously zoomable visible-light camera. It features a lightweight and compact design, high stability, exceptional accuracy, and a high degree of integration. With built-in automatic target recognition and tracking capabilities, the pod is ideally suited for deployment on small to medium-sized UAVs to perform round-the-clock reconnaissance and surveillance of target areas.

This pod has been adapted to multiple mainstream flight control platforms in China, enabling seamless integration with existing flight control systems. It can also be connected to our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping the overall system integrator rapidly complete UAV system development.

The electro-optical pod utilizes its visible-light camera to detect, identify, and track ground targets day and night, while outputting real-time visible-light video (and infrared video where applicable) for mission personnel to view.

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