Electro-optical sensor and gimbal for airborne tactical surveillance introduced by IJK
SOUTH PASADENA, Calif., 18 May 2015. IJK Controls LLC in South Pasadena, Calif., is introducing the Tactical Airborne Gimbal System (TAGS) electro-optical sensor gimbal for special operations, tactical surveillance, and law enforcement applications on fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
The TAGS sensor gimbal and electro-optical sensor system offers a carbon fiber, 4-axis gimbal design with fiber-optic gyroscope stabilization and extended environment operation to withstand the effects of high altitudes, extreme temperatures, and humidity. The TAGS controller offers geo-pointing and metadata output.
The TAGS is 17.5 inches across and weighs about 100 pounds with the sensor payload. Stabilization performance is a few microradians and feedback is a low-latency binary interface.
It is designed to meet the demanding requirements for airborne equipment, including DO-160. It has a high definition (HD) continuous-zoom midwave infrared (MWIR) imaging system with a visible camera and laser. IJK Controls also can customize the TAGS design by changing the sensor payloads.
