SHOTOVER M2
Multi-Sensor System
The M2 Multi-Sensor system redefines airborne ISR with SHOTOVER’s 5th-generation 6-axis gimbal design, eliminating “gimbal-lock” and “horizon-rolling.” It delivers unmatched clarity—day or night—via 4K Ultra-HD sensors and HOT infrared technology, paired with precision zoom optics for superior detail and extended stand-off distances.
Key features include 24MP DSLR-quality photo capture and automated camera functions for effortless steering, tracking, and zoom.
Optional SWIR technology enhances capabilities for maritime and fire missions.
M2 System Highlights
Unique 6-axis design provides outstanding stabilization with no “gimbal-lock” and level horizon
Embedded next generation Augmented Reality System provides unsurpassed situational awareness
Fully automated for hands-free following of vehicles, roads, railways, and other data objects
Advanced Image Blending combines color and thermal sensors into one information-rich scene
Real-time Anti-Turbulence Filter extends viewing distance in hot and humid conditions
Innovative software-defined features such as “ViewHold” to adjust zoom optics while maneuvering & “VLRF” Virtual Laser Range-Finding to automatically calculate distances
