UAVOS has launched the GOS-155, a new gimbaled camera purpose-built for UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)-based ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) applications.
The gimbal’s optimized SWaP (size, weight and power) profile, advanced day and night imaging, and embedded video processor makes it ideal for any mid-sized VTOL or fixed-wing UAS. With its low weight of 1.8 kg, and just 155 mm in size, it allows UAS platforms to decrease their payload burden and thus achieve longer endurances without sacrificing optical performance.
The GOS-155 two-axis gimbal is an EO/IR system, comprising a 30x optical zoom HD (1280×720) visible camera paired with a fixed focal length uncooled thermal LWIR (1280×1024) camera. This enables users to acquire detailed visuals across the visible and infrared spectrums, ultimately improving mission success.
Other key advantages include:
Increased durability: The GOS-155 is made from aircraft-grade aluminum with an automatic air pressure compensation valve. This makes it perfect for use at high altitudes. The system also utilizes a drying cartridge to remove moisture from the sensor chamber.
Simplified file transferring: The GOS-155 has a removable one terabyte flash drive.
The GOS-155 also features embedded video processing with electronic stabilization and object tracking. Integration with external GPS/INS provides real-time target location at 20 meters across multiple environments, and around 5 meters using UAVOS’ Ground Control Station software.
Furnished with an array of sophisticated software attributes, the GOS-155 provides excellent imaging performance. Its adeptness in scene and target tracking guarantees persistent focus on subjects, even amidst dynamic scenarios. The gimbal’s sturdiness and steadiness enables users to capture seamless and well-defined footage with high accuracy.
Aliaksei Stratsilatau, CEO of UAVOS, commented: “With the introduction of the GOS-155 gimbal, we now have the comprehensive product line-up necessary to accommodate the varying needs of ISR missions. Since day one, we’ve hung our hat on being nimble and quick to innovate. The high-performance, low-weight GOS-155 will increase the capabilities of today’s surveillance UAVs, and in turn, will be highly useful for commercial and security applications.”
