Block Cores for Gimbals / EO Turrets

Raptor offers a range of custom OEM imaging solutions for our customers. Our family of Block cameras feature SWaP enabled camera cores coupled to a lens and ruggedised in an IP enclosure making it perfect for integration into gimbals and EO turrets. We offer a range of cameras across multiple wavelength bands including UV, VIS and SWIR, as well as a choice of resolutions and pixel pitches. We integrate these with 3rd party fixed and motorised lenses offering the perfect imaging solution for gimbals and turrets.


SWIR Block 250

This is an ultra-compact SWaP optimised core which combines a 1280×1024 Vis-SWIR sensor coupled to a x10 motorised zoom 25-250mm NIR-SWIR lens. The full system is rugged, designed to MilSpec and ideal for integration into 10″ gimbals.
