MTZ115TA-HNV210T625L121 Tri-axis Tri-light pod

The MTZ115TA-HNV210T625L121 Tri-axis Tri-light pod is an advanced optoelectronic system designed for medium and small-sized UAVs. It integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, 10x continuously zoom visible light camera, laser rangefinder, and three-axis servo stabilization platform for comprehensive day and night reconnaissance. Featuring lightweight construction, high stability, and automatic tracking capabilities, this pod delivers real-time infrared and visible light video feeds. It seamlessly integrates with mainstream Chinese flight control platforms and ViewControlStudio software. The system excels in target detection, identification, and tracking with multiple operational modes including automatic search, manual control, and attitude stabilization. Key capabilities include 640×512 infrared resolution, 1920×1080 visible light resolution, 1.2km laser ranging, and precise three-degree-of-freedom motion control. Ideal for reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue, and forest fire prevention missions.

I. Product Introduction

The MTZ115TA-HNV210T625L121 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 10x continuous zoom visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image processing component. It features a lightweight design, high stability and precision, strong integration, and automatic tracking capabilities. The pod is ideally suited for deployment on medium and small UAVs to perform round-the-clock reconnaissance and surveillance missions over target areas.

The pod has been adapted to several mainstream flight control platforms in China, enabling seamless integration with UAV flight control systems. It can also be connected to the ViewControlStudio display and control software platform developed by our organization, assisting system integrators in rapidly completing UAV system development.

Equipped with an uncooled infrared thermal imager and a visible light camera, the optoelectronic pod enables all-weather detection, identification, and tracking of ground targets. It outputs 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.
