Controp Precision Technologies recently delivered the 2,000th example of its Stamp miniature electro optical/infrared (EO/IR) payload. The dual sensor day/night surveillance equipment can be carried by a variety of aircraft, including unmanned aerial systems and vertical takeoff and landing systems.

 


The Stamp EO/IR incorporates three gimbals, which the Israeli company says allows for a geo-stabilized, clear picture when looking horizontally and vertically. It also provides a stable picture when using an uncooled thermal camera with a zoom lens.

 


The Controp Stamp product family— which already includes the Micro-Stamp, the M-Stamp, and the T-Stamp— is designed for day and night tactical reconnaissance missions. The systems provide geolocation and consist of just one line-replaceable unit, which the company says makes them a more cost-effective solution.

 


During 2016, Controp (Stand Q56) plans to expand the Stamp line with new systems to fill new operational requirements. The company’s products range in weight from just 300 grams to 3.3 kg (just over 10 ounces to just over 7 pounds).

New developments and products in avionics, specifically about aircraft electronics in the cockpit.
