Onboard video processing is standard featuring video stabilization, object tracking, and Geo-location estimation.
- Environmentally sealed gimbal
- Video from multiple cameras can be switched on board or viewed simultaneously
- Communications spec fully compatible with existing TASE applications such as ViewPoint
- Operation modes include pilot mode, stabilized mode, and Lat/Long/Altitude mode
- Available software includes ground control GUI, video/telemetry recording and playback
- Custom camera and directional antenna integration available
