UAV Electro-Optical Tracking System

Functional Specifications

Product Description

The UAV Electro-Optical (EO) Tracking System utilizes optical and infrared imaging technologies to achieve target detection and tracking. It is primarily applied in low-altitude security defense, military reconnaissance, and related fields.

Detection Principles

• Visible Light Imaging: Captures the physical characteristics of UAVs (e.g., color, structure) via high-resolution cameras and extracts target information using image processing algorithms.
• Infrared Imaging: Detects heat signatures generated by UAV components such as motors and batteries based on thermal radiation principles, enabling target identification at night or in adverse weather conditions.
• Multi-Spectral Fusion: Overlays visible light and infrared images to enhance recognition accuracy and enable all-weather surveillance.

Key Features

• Dual-Sensor Integration: Combines visible light and thermal imaging with multi-channel data fusion.
• All-in-One Optics: Features fully automatic zoom/focus, optical defogging, and integrated servo tracking.
• Edge Computing AI: Offers selectable classification algorithms for over 80 target types (including humans, vehicles, and aircraft), enabling specific target detection and recognition.
• Integrated Thermal Workflow: Combines heat source detection, tracking, early warning, and alarming; automatically links with visible light zoom for close-ups and snapshot capture.
• Wide-Angle Coverage: Unlimited 0–360° horizontal rotation and -90° to +90° vertical tilt range.
• Precise Feedback & Data Fusion: Provides accurate azimuth and Field of View (FOV) readouts; integrates temperature, humidity, and angle deviation data.
• Lightweight & Low Power: Steady-state power consumption ≤30W; total weight ≤8kg.
• Multi-Source Cueing: Compatible with radar guidance, spectrum positioning, GPS, environmental sensors, and power management systems.
• Rugged Design: IP66 protection rating, low-temperature operation capability, and optional shock-absorption design.
• Low-Altitude Performance: Detects, tracks, identifies, and provides intelligent early warning for "low-slow-small" targets at 1–2 km.
• Long-Range Performance: Detects and tracks large aircraft at 1–12 km; identifies aircraft landing gear at 1–3 km.
