S280TB Dual-Axis Triple-Sensor Electro-Optical Pod Gyro Stabilized Electronic Optical Camera

S280TB optoelectronic pod consists of an uncooled infrared thermal camera, a 15x 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.
