AVT Australia has launched the CM102, a two-axis gyro-stabilized electro-optical (EO) and long-range infrared (LWIR) imaging system. 

Designed to meet the evolving needs of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications, the CM102 offers high-quality imagery in a lightweight, IP65-rated payload. 

The CM102 features a rugged and reliable design, tailored to endure the harsh environments that Group 1 and 2 small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) operate in. The imaging system is engineered to meet the stringent demands of defense applications, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.

With its cutting-edge HD Daylight and LWIR capabilities, the CM102 offers advanced capabilities for a sub-900g payload. It comes equipped with onboard features such as Object Detection and Recognition and fully integrated video processing and encoding, making it ideal for ISR missions that require a resilient and versatile imaging system.

With systems supporting operations in over 50 countries, AVT Australia delivers lightweight, gyro-stabilized imaging systems for ISR and target acquisition operations. 

Evert van Schuppen, Director of Operations at AVT Australia, commented, “Global demand for reliable, high resolution ISR payloads is rapidly growing, and AVT Australia is listening. We are thrilled to launch our CM102, a high definition LWIR gyro-stabilised gimbal. Leveraging our core technology from the CM62, the CM102 offers all the cornerstone features our customers have come to expect in small ISR gimbals.”
