Description
- The Z-9A Quad-Light Pod is a professional EO/IR UAV payload integrating a starlight-level zoom camera, thermal imaging camera, laser rangefinder, and laser illumination module into a compact and versatile system. The visible-light camera features 30× optical zoom, 4× digital zoom, and up to 120× hybrid zoom with 2.07MP resolution, enabling clear long-range target observation and identification. Combined with starlight night vision technology and an integrated laser illuminator, the Z-9A delivers detailed images in extremely low-light and complete-darkness environments, ensuring reliable day-and-night operation.
- The thermal imaging camera utilizes a high-performance 12μm uncooled VOx infrared detector and supports full-temperature measurement, enabling accurate heat-source detection and temperature monitoring in low-visibility conditions. The integrated laser rangefinder provides precise target distance information, enhancing situational awareness and mission efficiency. Together, the visible-light, thermal imaging, laser ranging, and illumination systems provide comprehensive target detection, observation, tracking, and assessment capabilities.
- Featuring a quick-release mounting system, the Z-9A supports tool-free installation on various UAV platforms for rapid deployment and seamless integration. Ideal for firefighting, public safety, search and rescue, forest protection, law enforcement, environmental monitoring, infrastructure inspection, emergency response, and ISR missions, the Z-9A combines thermal imaging, laser ranging, starlight night vision, and long-range zoom performance in a powerful and efficient UAV payload solution.
