Electro-optical gimbel on Predator UAV. Unmanned Air Vehicle Applications
UAV payloads consist of multi technology sensors enabling the UAV to operate in all weather and atmospheric conditions. Near IR (NIR), Short Wave IR (SWIR) and Long Wave IR (LWIR) sensors all require shutters to protect high value sensors from damage due to prolonged exposure to solar radiation. Our shutters are designed for airborne applications and are the ideal solution for this demanding environment of extreme temperatures and vibration.
