MTZ115TB-NNV210T625L121 Tri-axis Tri-light pod

The MTZ115TB-NNV210T625L121 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 10x continuously zoomable visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image processing module. It features a lightweight design, high stability and accuracy, high level of integration, and automatic tracking capability. The pod is well-suited for deployment on small to medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (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 our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping the overall system integrator to rapidly complete UAV system development.

Using the uncooled infrared thermal imager and visible light camera, the optoelectronic pod can detect, identify, and track ground targets day and night. It outputs real-time infrared and visible light video for mission personnel to view.

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