5. The higher demands on the ability to see and detect under difficult conditions,
the higher the requirements of pointing stability, detection distance, photon
sensitivity and bandwidth
of which follows...
Specialized sensors, micro mechanical precision components, advanced
software and electronics hardware, heavier, larger and more complex systems.

GIMBAL OPTIONS
17. The Automatic Video Tracking Option
means that the OTUS gimbal will have
a software function capable of
locking the LOS onto a specified
object in the image.
Hence a moving object on the ground
will remain locked onto the centre of
the OTUS video or IR image at all
times, provided the optical features
meet certain requirements.
DST CONTROL
AUTOMATIC VIDEO TRACKER
18. The Geo-Location Option means that the OTUS gimbal will have a
software function capable of outputting the GPS position of the viewed
object centred in the video or IR image. For this function to work, it is
required that two external sensors are connected to the gimbal:
1. An external GPS sensor providing the position of the vehicle (e.g. the
position of the base of the gimbal).
2. An external heading source providing the heading of the vehicles (e.g.
the heading of the base of the gimbal).
DST CONTROL
GEO-LOCATION
19. Geo-Tracking Option means that the OTUS gimbal will have a software
function capable of locking the LOS onto a GPS geographical position on the
ground. Hence the gimbal can be commanded to move to and maintain any
given geographical position centred in the image.
This option assumes that the Geo-Location Option is enabled.
DST CONTROL
GEO-TRACKER
20. Laser Range Finder (50 m to 4000 m): a device used to measure the
distance to an object by measuring the time of flight for a laser
beam emitted by the sensor and reflected by the object.
Laser Pointer & Laser Illuminator: a device that sends a laser beam
to point out an object. The device is available with a wide variety of
specifications depending on customer demands.

21. The Low Temperature Option means that the OTUS Gimbal Unit is equipped
with an internal heating element to ensure proper operation of payloads
that otherwise unable to operate at lower temperature. The lowest possible
operating temperature is -40°C.
