IAI's Tamam Division Announces the Launch of its New Multi-Mission Optronic Stabilized Payload (MOSP3000) Unit
Feb 14, 2008
Israel Aerospace Industries’ Tamam Division (IAI/Tamam) has announced the launch of its new Multi-Mission Optronic Stabilized Payload (MOSP3000) unit. MOSP3000 provides advanced image processing and automatic video tracker capabilities, and enhanced surveillance, targeting and geo-location capabilities for a variety of platforms including rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aerostats, ground applications and naval vessels. The first customer deliveries are scheduled for 2008 with further orders to additional customers scheduled for 2009.
MOSP3000 is a multi-sensor electro-optic and infrared (EO/IR) payload that is an evolution of the successful MOSP concept. The system is available in 14-inch (36cm) and 15-inch (38cm) diameter configuration, with identical internal design. The 14” unit is designed primarily for UAV and aerostat platforms, while the 15” unit is designed primarily for helicopters, naval vessels and ground applications that require enhanced ruggedized structures.
MOSP3000’s open architecture design provides the capability to match the sensor configuration according to customer needs with up to five sensors. The sensor package includes a continuous day color zoom camera, a variety of thermal imaging cameras (up to 640x480 detector format), a laser pointer and an eye-safe laser range finder. A laser designator and laser ranger finder (LRDF) can also be installed.
System highlights:
a. Uses MOSP four gimbals and mechanics concept integrated with Fiber Optics Gyro (FOG) technology and shaft encoders for accurate gimbals angles readout.
b. One line replaceable unit (LRU) with all electronics inside payload
c. “Plug & Play” sensors where each sensor is totally independent and operated digitally
d. Digital control loops for added flexibility
e. Significantly enhanced dynamics (slew rate and acceleration)
f. Enhanced image processing
g. Digital video capability
h. Area auto-tracking in addition to the original correlative and centeroid features
