Sonoma M11
Step-Stare Turret

Advanced 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
Color Daylight CCD camera with 14x zoom lens
Eyesafe Laser Range Finder (LRF)
  or
Laser Range Finder/Designator (LRF/D), dual band 1.064 μm/1.57μm

The small size and light weight of the M11 allows installation on a wide range of small rotary and fixed wing aircraft where compactness and performance are of primary concern.
