POP Ultra (Air/Naval)

The POP Ultra represents an extremely lightweight payload engineered for day and night observation systems, with a specific focus on airborne applications. Tailored for small platforms, including compact unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), this payload offers real-time imagery, automated video tracking, and precise target geo-location capabilities.

Designed with efficiency in mind, the POP Ultra is a dual-axis, gyro-stabilized, and fully digital payload, consolidated into a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The foundational configuration features a continuous zoom color day camera and a thermal imaging camera. For enhanced capabilities, the payload can be augmented with a laser pointer and an automatic television tracker.

 

Seamless integration is ensured, as the POP Ultra easily connects to and integrates with any Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) system, or it can be efficiently operated using IAI's proprietary control systems.
