This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

Israel’s new line of upgraded, stabilized optronic payloads incorporate high definition EO and IR sensors.

The new MOSP3000-HD and POP300D-HD payloads use a 1280 x 1024 detector for the thermal camera and a 1920 x 1080 detector for the day camera. Mini POP HD includes a 1920 x 1080 detector for the day camera.

The new HD sensors, combined with the laser designators, can be used for targeting, accurate geo-location and wide-area scanning, surveillance and rescue missions. Video data is available in two forms: Ethernet as compressed digital over LAN (each sensor is an IP) and analogue video in parallel, for compatibility with legacy systems. The new system includes advanced video image processing and compression features that enable the full HDTV to be adapted to any downlink system.

These payloads can withstand severe environmental conditions and can be installed on various platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aerostats, helicopters and maritime vessels. They can also be installed on masts or vehicles for ground applications.

The new payloads were developed by IAI’s Tamam division.
