The High Performance Stabilised Payload is a compact, lightweight, day system specially configured for use on Mini UAV’s. The payload is integrated with a daylight channel consisting of a high resolution CCD camera.

The Payload provides the following main features:

• High resolution and sensitivity
• Light weight (Less then 0.9 kg)
• Operation on a single power source (12 vdc)
• Low power consumption (3 Watt nom)
• Easy interface to the UAV
• Rs-232/PWM communication with the UAV
• Standard video output (PAL or NTSC)

The High Performance Stabilised Payload is a compact, lightweight, day system specially configured for use on Mini UAV’s. The payload is integrated with a daylight channel consisting of a high resolution CCD cameraconsists of a two (2) gimbal system stabilised in Roll and in elevation. All functions are controlled by a micro-computer, which receives commands and sends status messages through a bi-directional serial communication channel (RS-232/ or PWM).
