The GSP-100 is a small, daylight camera package ideally suited for operation in short range UAV systems. The GSP-100 features the option of both infrared and visible low light cameras installed in a single small, low-drag housing wit a PTZ interface. With a spherical diameter of only 5” (13 cm) the GSP-100 has extremely low impact on aircraft flight characteristics and overall drag regardless of its pointing direction. Gimbal weight is less than 2 pounds (1 kg.) and allows aircraft to carry maximum fuel for longer endurance missions. The GSP-100 can be interfaced to various positioning devices providing a lightweight and inexpensive targeting system. Very low electrical requirements place minimal electrical demand on aircraft systems and provide maximum mission duration.

The GSP-900 is a dual camera package ideally suited for operation in larger UAV systems such as the HORNET, HAWK, VISION, VECTOR and SHADOW series. The GSP-900 is supplied with a daylight color camera and features the option of both infrared and visible low light cameras installed in a single small, low-drag housing. With a spherical diameter of only 9” (23 cm) the GSP-900 has extremely low impact on aircraft flight characteristics and overall drag regardless of its pointing direction. Gimbal weight is less than 6 pounds (3 kg) and allows aircraft to carry maximum fuel and payload. Modular components are compact, rugged and easily serviced. Various infrared, low-light, and visible video imaging devices are easily accommodated. High-resolution still photographic cameras can also be accurately positioned. The GSP-900 can be interfaced to various positioning and fire control devices providing a lightweight and inexpensive targeting and fire control system.

The GSP-1200 is a dual camera package ideally suited for operation in manned aircraft and larger UAV systems. The GSP-1200 is supplied with a daylight color camera and features the option of both infrared and visible low light cameras installed in a single small, low-drag housing. With a spherical diameter of only 12” (30 cm) the GSP-1200 has extremely low impact on aircraft flight characteristics and overall drag regardless of its pointing direction. Gimbal weight is less than 29 pounds (13kg.) and allows aircraft to carry maximum fuel and payload. Modular components are compact, rugged and easily serviced. A multi-spectral payload with a daylight TV camera with 20X Optical zoom in the visible range and an IR 2X EO zoom gives a larger image and 40% increase in thermal sensitivity. Various infrared, low-light, and visible video imaging devices are easily accommodated. High-resolution still photographic cameras can also be accurately positioned. The GSP-1200 can be interfaced to various positioning and fire control devices providing a lightweight and inexpensive targeting and fire control system. Very low electrical requirements place minimal electrical demand on aircraft systems and provide maximum mission duration.
