The M2D Mini UAV UAS drone thermal FLIR gimbal payload stands out as one of the market’s smallest stabilized EOIR LWIR uncooled gimbals.

It offers a range of capabilities suitable for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and drones. Weighing only 160 grams, the thermal gimbal’s weight is comparable to that of a billiard ball.

EO-IR sensors and camera systems prove highly compatible with a wide spectrum of unmanned aerial platforms, including VTOL multirotor UAVs, fixed-wing and hybrid UAVs, tethered drones, aerostats, balloons, as well as fixed-site installations, unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), and unmanned surface vehicles (USV).

Specifically developed for short, medium, and long-range aerial missions, miniature EO/IR gimbal payloads meet various SWAP (Size, Weight, and Power) requirements. These lightweight and easily mountable gimbals can be efficiently swapped out based on specific drone and mission requirements.

Gyro-stabilized EO/IR gimbals offer stabilization along multiple axes, depending on the type and payload capacity of the UAV or unmanned system.

These gimbals feature 2-axis, 3-axis, or 4-axis stabilization capabilities and are compatible with a range of LWIR, MWIR, SWIR, and NIR thermal cameras, providing enhanced stability and accurate imaging capabilities.

EO/IR gimbal camera systems incorporate a variety of cameras and sensors to cater to different operational needs.

These systems include single and double Field of View (FOV) cameras, daytime and night-time sensors, thermal imaging cameras, CCD sensors, and optical zoom cameras of various strengths. Their versatility allows for adaptable and high-quality imaging capabilities.

The M2D family of rugged, mini, lightweight long-range multi-sensor EO/IR gimbals for UAVs and drones offers the smallest, lightest, and highest-performing solutions at affordable pricing.

These systems are ideal for integrators seeking to optimize time and cost efficiency. They feature long-range HD cooled MWIR and LWIR uncooled zoom thermal capabilities, providing a wide field of view (FOV) down to 1 degree.

The M2D gimbal payloads excel in surveillance, security, and defense applications, with impressive detection ranges of up to 10 kilometers for human targets and 20 kilometers for vehicles.

Designed for a wide range of applications, the M2D EO/IR gimbal payloads can be mounted on UAVs, drones, unmanned vehicles (including USVs and UGVs), as well as manned fixed-site installations. These gimbal payloads find utility in scenarios such as:

1. Counter-drone measures
2. Unmanned aerial and ground vehicle observation
3. Surveillance and targeting operations
4. Coastal and border patrol
5. Security and defense applications

Gyro-stabilized EO/IR gimbals play a critical role in unmanned surveillance systems, enabling real-time detection, recognition, and identification of aerial, land-based, and maritime targets.

They are suitable for Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) operations, counter-UAS and anti-drone defenses, as well as search and rescue missions.

Furthermore, EO/IR gimbal payloads, cameras, and sensors are utilized in industrial inspection drones, UAVs used for mapping, surveying, aerial inspections, and environmental monitoring.
