The ZK-155TJ is a compact electro optical pod designed specifically for small- and medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 33× continuous optical zoom visible-light camera, and an eye-safe laser rangefinder, and is equipped with a dual-axis stabilized gimbal and an embedded artificial intelligence image processing module that supports automatic target recognition and tracking. It is compatible with fixed-wing drone, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAV, multirotor, and tethered UAVs, and is suitable for missions such as reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue, and forest fire prevention.

It features high-precision line-of-sight stabilization. It supports mainstream domestic UAV flight control protocols, including MAVLink, and seamlessly integrates with the accompanying ground control software for rapid system integration. Covering the visible light and long-wave infrared spectra, the device provides all-weather target detection, identification, and real-time dual-video output.

The ZK-155TJ electro optical pod offers a wide range of practical functions, such as one-touch centering, target geolocation, photo/video recording, bandpass adjustment, and target reacquisition after loss of track. Its 1,535 nm laser rangefinder, which is harmless to the human eye, achieves a ranging accuracy of ±2 m. The visible-light camera features low-light performance of 0.01 lux and fog-penetrating capability. The 640×512 infrared imager offers multiple false-color modes and provides clear thermal imaging day and night.
