CONTROP Precision Technologies Ltd which manufactures stabilized camera payloads, has announced that the STAMP Stabilized Miniature Payload has been selected by the Israeli Army as the chosen EO/IR payload for one of the most important strategic mini UAV programmes. The STAMP family of gyro-stabilized miniature payloads, includes the D-STAMP with a CCD camera for daylight applications and the newest U-STAMP with an uncooled IR dual field-of-view camera for night-time applications or U-STAMP-Z with a continuous zoom lens. The CONTROP STAMP payload was even chosen by the IMOD prior to the actual UAV tender, owing to their unmatched high quality stabilized picture, providing every operator with an excellent video image and the maximum amount of detailed information from a very user-friendly easy to control system. These revolutionary new systems provide a vivid look at the world we live in - from the perspective of amini UAV - up to 2000 feet overhead.
The D-STAMP is a daylight stabilized miniature payload with three gimbals weighing only 750 grams and the U-STAMP is an uncooled infrared camera with a dual field of view and the U-STAMP-Z has a X4 continuous optical zoom lens, weighing a mere 1000 grams! These cameras are fully operational with proven performance in detecting targets with unsurpassed reliability. The company's payloads are currently in use on a variety of SUAVs and other platforms worldwide "with tremendous success and full satisfaction from all Operators and Customers, hereby proving that the concept of a quality stabilized day and night mini payload is indeed achievable".
