Pumair-170: Unique low cost airborne system.

The Pumair-170 is equipped with a state-of-the-art thermal infrared camera and a visual CCD camera. This will let you benefit from the best characteristics of both the LWIR and the visual spectrum in one powerful and multi-purpose airborne imaging system.

LWIR cameras are well known for the detection and tracking of thermal events. Yet in combination with a visual camera you will have excellent background (color) information. This allows you to locate and track the path of flames and raging fires, unbothered by smoldering grounds and flying ashes, which normally block LWIR cameras. In addition if you need to detect objects or persons, you can choose visual or LWIR technology to give the best vision as an alternative to night vision equipment.

Using our Pumair-170, you will benefit from the best characteristics of both LWIR and visual in one powerful and multi-purpose airborne imaging platform.

Key Benefits

  • Made in Europe
  • Accurate stabilisation < 100 urad
  • Stabilization by active vibration attenuation
  • One of the smallest gimbals on the market
