So CONTROP introduced the M-STAMP - now
there's no need to change payloads when transitioning
from daytime to nighttime (not to mention the sensitivities
of "twilight" time). The new M-STAMP includes
a Day Camera, an Uncooled Dual FOV TI camera and a Laser
Pointer all in a compact payload weighing less than 1.2kg.
CONTROP introduced the concept that there
needn't be such a vast tradeoff between size/weight and
quality of image. With the right technology – which
CONTROP developed - one could get a clear and stabilized
image from an easy to operate low cost / low weight payload.
About 5 years ago, CONTROP came out with the STAMP –
small gyro-stabilized miniature payloads specially designed
for SUAVs. The first stage was the D-STAMP with a day
camera.
Then CONTROP came out with the U-STAMP
with an uncooled IR camera (with a fixed or dual field-of-view
or a continuous zoom lens). All weighing in the range
of +/- only 1kg!! Lately, CONTROP introduced the STAMP-HD.
This is the first High Definition HD gyro stabilized camera
for small UAVs. The day camera requires even finer stabilization
of the payload – and provides a super high quality
stabilized HD color image from aboard a small UAV! The
new HD STAMP provides new opportunities for SUAVs, including
surveying of power lines and other requirements where
a high definition image is required. And one step further
– the D-STAMP day camera is now available with the
new Scanning Mode operation. All of these STAMP products
are operationally proven and CONTROP has been a sole source
supplier for critical SUAV programs such as the prestigious
Israel MOD Sky Rider program.
