OverviewORYX 12HD is a gyrostabilized turret engineered for land platforms that require extended-range imaging and precision sensing. The compact SWaP-optimized design integrates multi-spectral sensors and an embedded video-processing suite to support day/night observation, target detection and secure data transmission.
Key elements- Gyrostabilized turret for land applications
- Approx. weight: ~2.0 kg
- EO sensor: 2‑MP Full HD color camera (1920×1080)
- EO optical zoom: ×30; combined optical+digital zoom up to ×360
- IR sensor: uncooled LWIR SXGA (1280×1024) — thermal zoom up to ×8
- Class 1 laser rangefinder (1.55 μm) with range up to 12 km
- Optional Class 3B laser pointer (830 nm)
- Day vehicle detection (DRI metric): up to 20 km
Integrated capabilities- Onboard video processing with H.264 and H.265/HEVC codecs and controlled latency
- Gyro-based stabilization complemented by digital stabilization to mitigate vibrations and micro-movements
- AI-assisted algorithms for automatic object tracking and classification
- SWaP-optimized architecture for easy integration on tactical and civil land platforms
- Designed to avoid ITAR-controlled components where possible; European-sourced components used when available
Complementary systems (summary)- Vision.AI: embedded video-processing module providing codec support (H.264/H.265), digital stabilization and AI functions (tracking, classification) to optimize image quality and bandwidth use.
- VisionControl (Ground Control Station): mission planning and real-time sensor/effect control software with algorithm management, user interface for operator control, and recording of video, telemetry and events for post-mission analysis.
