Small Package
The Sonoma M11™ Step-Stare Turret is the first
completely digital tri-sensor gimbal developed by L-3
Sonoma EO that has high speed Step-Stare capability. Introduced
into the market for Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(TUAV) this high performance system is intended for small
aircraft requiring very long-range reconnaissance, surveillance
and targeting (RSTA).
Offering a 3 field-of-view long-range optic, the system captures more than 8
overlapping, digital still images per second, which are then tiled together
to create a high-resolution digital image.
Impressive Range Performance
Offering unprecedented coverage and resolution with 4000m
standoff, the M11 covers up to 300sq km per hour, assuring
complete and accurate coverage of the target area while increasing
the survivability of the UAV.
Robust Modular Payload
The M11 Tri-Sensor includes:
|
3-5μm - 3 field-of-view Thermal Imager,
with Indium Antimonide ("InSb") staring array,
multi-spectral mine detection proven |
