Common Features Across the Series

Day & Night Operational Capability

All models integrate visible and thermal imaging channels, enabling seamless 24/7 surveillance and target acquisition in all lighting conditions—from bright sunlight to complete darkness.

AI-Enhanced Intelligence

  • AI recognition: Automatically identifies and classifies targets.

  • Automatic target tracking: Locks onto and follows moving targets with minimal operator input.

  • Target positioning: Provides accurate location data for situational awareness and weapon cueing.

Dual-Channel Continuous Zoom

  • Visible channel: Up to 30x optical zoom with 60x hybrid zoom, providing exceptional detail at long range.

  • Thermal channel: Continuous zoom options ranging from 25–100mm (uncooled) to 15–300mm (cooled), delivering clear thermal imagery in low-visibility or obscured environments.

Long-Range Laser Rangefinder

Integrated laser rangefinders with ranges from 6,000m to 10,000m enable precise target distance measurement and geolocation, critical for fire control, reconnaissance, and surveillance missions.

Two-Axis Servo Stabilization

High-precision two-axis stabilization compensates for platform motion, ensuring stable imagery and accurate tracking even on moving vehicles or vessels in rough conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What platforms are these turrets compatible with?
A: The series is designed for integration with UAVs, UGVs, manned vehicles, and unmanned surface vessels. Model selection depends on weight and payload constraints.

Q: What is the maximum laser ranging distance?
A: Ranging capabilities vary by model: ZT260TA/TE (8,000m), ZT068FA (10,000m), ZT055TA (6,000m).

Q: Do the turrets support automatic target tracking?
A: Yes. All models include automatic target tracking, AI recognition, and target positioning capabilities.

Q: What is the difference between cooled and uncooled thermal cameras?
A: Cooled thermal cameras (ZT068FA) offer superior sensitivity and longer detection ranges, making them ideal for long-range and high-altitude applications. Uncooled cameras are lighter and more cost-effective for medium-range operations.

Q: What video output interfaces are available?
A: All models provide HD-SDI and Ethernet video outputs.
