E180 / E180MG
Visual intelligence. Thermal dominance.
A stabilized camera system in a small but robust form factor. Mission-critical intelligence at greater standoff ranges.
Overview
About E180 / E180MG
With three-axis mechanical and electrical stabilization, a 4K color EO camera featuring 20x super resolution zoom, and an MWIR sensor offering 13.7x continuous optical zoom down to 1.6° FOV, the Octopus E180 delivers mission-critical intelligence at greater standoff ranges. A built-in laser range finder enables accurate targeting, while powerful onboard processing reduces operator burden with target tracking, image enhancement, and moving target indication. Fully non-ITAR and built for demanding missions, the E180 is more than a payload—it’s your tactical advantage.

Advantages and Benefits
Ruggedized to operate in any environment, we equip our systems with super rugged designs comprised of an advanced magnesium structure.
Assembled in a protected, fully sealed, dry gas environment to ensure that the system works when and where you need it to – IP64.
Our integrated approach to optics combined class-leading MWIR and 4K video systems with the most powerful in-class onboard processors to ensure that the boots on the ground know what is going on.
​Imaging Features
Target Tracking
The object tracking is a fundamental feature for long-range surveillance, monitoring and law enforcement applications. The operator can allocate the target and zoom in, while the onboard processor will hold the target in the center of the video screen, regardless of the aircraft movement direction.
MWIR Camera Performance
Imaging Features
E180 is the smallest four-sensor MWIR gimbal that combines cutting-edge sensor technology and high accuracy of geo-location and moving map software. Providing high-quality video with ultimate stability even at 90x optical zoom for daylight camera and up to 15x continuous optical zoom for MWIR camera, it enables the system to operate in any lighting conditions.
