S220TC Dual-Axis Triple-Sensor Electro-Optical Pod

S220TC optoelectronic pod consists of an uncooled infrared thermal camera, a 30x continuously zoomed visible camera, a laser illuminator, a two-axis servo-stabilized platform and an image processing component (auto identification and tracking). It is characterized by high precision and long acting distance, can be applied to medium and small-sized UAVs to accomplish day and night reconnaissance, surveillance and other tasks on the target area. The optoelectronic pod realizes all-day detection, identification and tracking of ground targets by means of uncooled infrared thermal camera and visible light camera, and outputs real-time infrared and visible light video for the mission executives to view at the same time.

The pod has been adapted to a number of domestic mainstream flight control platforms, and can realize seamless docking with the flight control; and can be accessed to the Users’ View Control Studio software platform, to assist the company to quickly complete the development of the unmanned aircraft system.

The optoelectronic pod is mainly used in reconnaissance, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, forest fire prevention and other scenarios.

Product Features

• Equipped with automatic target identification and tracking capabilities
• Supports self-diagnosis and fault reporting functions
• Features 30x optical zoom for the visible-light camera
• Capable of infrared and visible spectrum detection; outputs both infrared and visible-light images
• The visible-light camera supports optical zoom, autofocus, manual focus, and low-light imaging
• Integrated with laser ranging and laser illumination functions
• Provides two-axis (azimuth and pitch) movement capability
• Supports multiple operation modes: automatic search, manual search, following, and tracking
• In manual search mode, it can receive commands from the control station and execute pod operations
• Capable of isolating carrier disturbances to stabilize the line of sight
• Supports target lock/unlock functionality; after locking, the target is tracked with a visual tracking frame in the output image
• Target tracking includes anti-interference capabilities against natural environmental factors
• Features memory tracking, allowing the system to re-acquire the target shortly after temporary loss
• Includes adjustable wavegate sizing functionality
• Supports tracking point switching
• Able to calculate target coordinates using laser range data, pod azimuth/pitch angles, and UAV attitude information
• Supports bidirectional communication with the control station via 100 Mbps Ethernet or RS422; transmits infrared and visible-light images, system status, camera status, and optical axis position
• Provides multi-channel video output interfaces, including HD-SDI and 100 Mbps network
• Supports both photo capturing and video recording functions

Applications

• Dropped fixed-wing UAVs, rotary-wing UAVs, tethered UAVs, etc
