MTZ130TA-HNV233T635L121 Tri-axis Tri-light pod

The MTZ130TA-HNV233T635L121 optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 33x continuously zoomable visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image processing component featuring autonomous recognition and tracking. Designed with a lightweight structure, high stability and precision, and a high level of integration, the pod supports automatic target recognition and tracking. It is ideally suited for 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, ensuring seamless integration. It can also be connected to our organization’s ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, helping the overall unit rapidly complete UAV system development.

Equipped with an uncooled infrared thermal imager and a 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 monitor.

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