MTZ130-TAFNV233T635L121 Tri-axis Tri-light pod

The MTZ130-TAFNV233T635L121 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 33x continuous zoom visible-light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image processing module featuring autonomous recognition and tracking capabilities. With its lightweight design, high stability and accuracy, high level of integration, and advanced automatic target recognition and tracking functions, the pod is ideally suited for medium- and small-sized UAVs performing 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 our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping system integrators accelerate the development of complete UAV systems.

Equipped with an uncooled infrared thermal imager and a visible-light camera, the optoelectronic pod supports round-the-clock 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.
