Payloads & Sensors

Description

The Raptor Pod is a self-contained, 4-axis inertially stabilized gimbal system that delivers cutting-edge ISR and targeting capabilities for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. Featuring Hood Tech's AC-14 EO/IR sensor, it provides simultaneous multispectral video feeds across EO, MWIR, and SWIR wavebands with 280x zoom. The system offers target tracking, Video Moving Target Indication (VMTI), and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), with real-time data transmission and wireless cockpit operation. Designed for zero aircraft modifications, it mounts to 14" NATO pylons or Warsaw hardpoints for plug-and-play deployment.
