Leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality imaging systems for manned and unmanned military aircraft Trillium Engineering, has added a STANAG Compliant 50mJ laser designator to three of their flagship products: the HD95, HD80 and HD55 camera gimbals.
Adding the laser-designator feature to these Group 2 and Group 3 sensor payloads, enables Trillium to support the needs of tactical surveillance operators and missions requiring laser designation.
Able to achieve CAT-1 geolocation accuracy onboard the gimbal, Trillium’s intuitive plug and play imaging systems for defense feature GPS/INS, highly advanced video processing, direct drive motion control for best-in-class stability, and the ability to provide MISB compliant video in h.264 and h.265.
The HD95 – Trillium’s largest and most advanced sensor
Developed to meet the US Army’s FTUAS requirements, the 10” HD95 gimbal increases MWIR focal length from 375mm to 600mm and features best-in-class capability at only 16lb. The 10” HD95 gimbal includes:
- a 20x optical zoom MWIR
- 36x optical zoom EO
- SWIR See Spot Camera
- Laser Pointer
- Laser Range Finder
- Laser Designator
The HD80 – a lightweight, high performance camera gimbal
The combination of low weight, at less than 11lb, and high sensor capability makes this an ideal camera for a group 3 UAS requiring high capability and long endurance. The 8” HD80 includes:
- 15x optical zoom MWIR camera
- 30x optical zoom EO camera
- SWIR See Spot Camera
- Laser Point
- Laser Designator
- Optional Laser Range Finder
The HD55 – Trillium’s smallest camera system with a laser designator
At just 6.5” and less than 6 pounds, the HD55 provides capabilities to a Group 2 UAS usually only available in the larger Group 3 and 4 UAS payloads. The 6.5” HD55 includes:
- 3x optical zoom MWIR camera
- EO camera
- SWIR See Spot Camera
- Laser Pointer
- Laser Range Finder
- STANAG compliant 50mj Laser Designator
Matt Carreon, Trillium’s VP of Business Development commented; “Trillium gimbals are changing the way the warfighter can operate in the field. Lightweight gimbals attaining CAT-1 target accuracy with a laser designator significantly enables the Group 2 and 3 UAS in the battlefield for our warfighter.”
