MTZ096FA Tri-Axis Four-Light Pod

I. Product Introduction

The MTZ096FA three-axis four-light pod consists of an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 4800W wide-angle visible light camera, a 4800W optical zoom visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and image processing components (autonomous recognition and tracking) . It features lightweight design, high stability and accuracy, high integration, automatic target recognition, and automatic tracking, and can be applied to small unmanned aerial vehicles (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.
