MCT Provides Dozens of Custom High Speed Cameras for Mounting on F-16.
The Challenge:
The US Air Force required a high speed camera small enough to fit inside a Sidewinder missile pod, one that was Mil Spec 810 & 461, and also needed specific standardized communication protocol and file formats. Their ultimate goal was to set up a GigE Vision communication network onboard the aircraft that would allow them to “plug in” any manufacturers camera. Image data from the camera would be saved in an IRIG-106 Chap 10 file format. The challenge was that no high speed camera manufacturers were currently offering either of these comms or file format options in their products.
Product Needed:
AOS S-MIZE EM cameras and AOS Custom Engineering
Why MCT:
MCT brought some of the brightest minds in the high speed camera industry to the table to customize an already proven airborne camera. The AOS engineers did not disappoint when they produced over 20 cameras that met the specification presented by the customer. Today, there continue to be new cameras and new features added to the customer’s camera arsenal.
