Controp launches multi-sensor payload for small UAVs

June 16-30, 2011

Controp has added a new product, the new M-Stamp, a multi sensor payload for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Due to the fact that small UAV (SUAV) manufacturers are now developing small UAV platforms that can stay airborne for longer – even five or six hours – so there was a new requirement for a high quality stabilised picture that could come from an easy-to-operate lightweight multi sensor camera payload which is dedicated for longer flights on SUAVs and can cross over from day-to-night or vice-versa.

Controp introduced the M-Stamp wherein there is no need to change payloads when transitioning from daytime to nighttime. The new M-Stamp includes a day camera, an uncooled dual FOV TI camera and a laser pointer all in a compact payload weighing less than 1.2 kg. Controp introduced the concept that there need not be such a vast trade-off between size/weight and quality of image. With the right technology – which Controp developed – one could get a clear and stabilised image from an easy to operate low-cost low-weight payload.
