Low-SWaP UAV EO/IR Gimbal for ISR Missions

UAVOS INC. has launched the GOS-155, a new gimbaled camera purpose-built for UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)-based ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) applications.

The?GOS-155 two-axis gimbal?is an EO/IR system, comprising a 30x optical zoom HD (1280×720) visible camera paired with a fixed focal length uncooled thermal LWIR (1280×1024) camera.

The gimbal’s optimized SWaP (size, weight and power) profile, advanced day and night imaging, and embedded video processor makes it ideal for any mid-sized VTOL or fixed-wing UAV.?

With its low weight of 1.8 kg, and just 155 mm in size, it allows UAV platforms to decrease their payload burden and thus achieve longer endurances without sacrificing optical performance.

"With the introduction of the GOS-155 gimbal, we now have the comprehensive product line-up necessary to accommodate the varying needs of ISR missions." - Aliaksei Stratsilatau , CEO of UAVOS.
