MTZ130TA-HNV230T635L305 Tri-axis Tri-light pod

The MTZ130TA-HNV230T635L305 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuously zoomable visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo stabilization 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 well-suited for deployment on medium and small-sized UAVs to perform round-the-clock reconnaissance and surveillance missions over designated target areas.

The pod has been adapted to several mainstream flight control platforms in China, enabling seamless integration with existing flight control systems. It can also be connected to our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping the overall system integrator accelerate the development process of the UAV system.

Equipped with an uncooled infrared thermal imager and a visible light camera, the pod is capable of detecting, identifying, and tracking ground targets day and night, while outputting real-time infrared and visible light video for mission personnel to monitor.

Typical applications of this optoelectronic pod include reconnaissance missions, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention.
