System Features

The combination of a high bandwidth architecture, high-end stabilization performance plus deep integration of high-end sensors delivers uncompromising data quality and inspection efficiency.

POWERFUL SYSTEM DESIGN

Fiberoptic inertial measurement units (IMUs) deliver superior turret stabilization granting highest measurement precision with ultra low noise and drift
The fiberoptic network architecture provides ultra high data bandwidth, allowing data to be recorded uncompressed, with minimal latency.
Only a single hybrid fiber cable is required between the gimbal and the helicopter, allowing for a fast and easy installation/start of operation, noise free high speed data transmission, free of electromagnetic interferences

Ease-of-use & Highest Sensor Integration

The highly intuative GCU “Graphical Control Unit” controls all aspects of the system. Various dials command the numerous sensor functions, that are deeply integrated into the system. A touch screen allows operators to customize screen layouts and functions to their preference.

Deep integration of sensor functions
Settings & Layouts fully customizable
Ability to save to individual user profiles
Advanced Autofocus & Focus Tracking

Payload sensor package

The 4 to 5 sensor payload usually consists of the following standard components and will be customized upon customer request:

HD Thermographic Infrared Camera
4K Electro-Optical Video Camera
HD UV/Corona Camera made by OFIL
High Res. 61 MP (Full Frame) Photo Camera
Choice of 100/120MP Still sensors
LRF Laser Range Finder

Geo-referenced data (video & image data)

All 4K & HD video and image data is geo-referenced (GPS of platform and target) using the IMU/GPS/LRF. The Geo-lock function to automatically hold the target reference position in flight is available as an option.

Optical

IR (HD), UV (HD) and Optical (4K/HD) video channels are recorded in uncompressed full resolutions, including the Geo-reference (GPS of target and aircraft). Faults can either be marked with a single press of a button, or triggered/detected through advanced intelligent functions; with the Geo-referenced 61-120 MP resolution images and radiometric IR data automatically recorded for each fault.
