S230TC Medium 2-Axis Gimbal Cameras — 3-Sensor EO/IR/LRF for military ISR missions

The S230TC is a professional 2-axis 3-Sensor EO/IR/LRF designed for military ISR missions. Equipped with a high-sensitivity thermal detector, it sees through fog, dust, smoke, and complete darkness — when the human eye fails. Variable optical zoom enables seamless transition from wide-area scanning to target identification at extended ranges. An integrated laser rangefinder provides instant target distance measurement for fire-control and targeting integration. At 8.5kg, this is a robust platform built for ground vehicles, ships, and fixed installations requiring maximum stability. 2-axis gyro stabilization maintains tracking precision with minimal drift, even in high-crosswind environments.

Why Operators Choose S230TC

① Heavy-duty stabilization wins the long game. In contested airspace, stability is survival. The S230TC delivers rock-solid imagery that lighter gimbals cannot match — the difference between identifying a target and missing it.
② Stabilization beats sensor count. A 4K camera in vibration is junk. A 640 thermal on a gyro is gold. The S230TC keeps tracking drift minimal even at high crosswind speeds.
③ Integrated LRF beats external rangefinding. Separate LRF means extra weight and alignment headaches. The S230TC integrates laser rangefinding directly into the gimbal — one payload, one boresight, instant target distance.

Application Scenarios

Military ISR and reconnaissance missions
Border surveillance and coastal defense
Large-area search and rescue (SAR)
Maritime patrol and anti-piracy
Critical infrastructure protection

Plug-and-Play Integration

Compatible with Pixhawk, Cube Orange, Mission Planner, QGroundControl,
and major autopilot platforms. Dual-link RS232/RS422, Ethernet (UDP) interface means
installation takes under 15 minutes — no firmware patching, no proprietary SDK,
no integration headaches.
