MTX130TA-HNV230T635L305 Tri-axis Tri-light pod

The MTX130TA-HNV230T635L305 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo-stabilized platform, and an image processing module capable of autonomous target recognition and tracking. Designed with a lightweight structure, high stability and accuracy, and a high degree of integration, the pod supports automatic target recognition and tracking. It is ideally suited for medium- and small-sized UAVs, enabling day-and-night reconnaissance and surveillance missions over target areas.

The pod has been adapted to several mainstream flight control platforms in China, ensuring seamless integration with flight control systems. It can also be connected to our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping the overall system integrator quickly 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 around the clock, while outputting real-time infrared and visible light video for mission personnel.

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