LITENING Advanced Targeting Pod (AN/AAQ-28), Electro-optical targeting pod, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentLITENING Advanced Targeting Pod (AN/AAQ-28)Electro-optical targeting podSide: UnknownBuilt: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems / Northrop Grumman / Israel / United StatesThe LITENING Advanced Targeting Pod (AN/AAQ-28) is a Rafael-designed electro-optical/infrared targeting pod used on multirole combat aircraft for precision targeting and reconnaissance. The U.S. Air Force fact sheet describes it as a modular pod family, and Italy's AMX aircraft have carried the Litening C4 variant in service.
EO/IR Pod, Electro-optical/infrared sensor pod, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentEO/IR PodElectro-optical/infrared sensor podSide: UnknownBuilt: Aero Vodochody AEROSPACE / Czech RepublicEO/IR Pod is a relationship-only electro-optical/infrared sensor pod entry for documented carrier fits on Aero Vodochody's L-39 Skyfox and the U.S. Coast Guard HC-130J Super Hercules. Aero's brochure places it in a border-patrolling configuration with two 350-liter external fuel tanks and one EO/IR pod, while the Coast Guard factsheet names a nose-mounted EO/IR pod in the HC-130J mission system suite.
Medium- and shallow-water multibeam sounding system, Hydrographic survey system, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentMedium- and shallow-water multibeam sounding systemHydrographic survey systemSide: UnknownBuilt: Kongsberg Maritime / NorwayMedium- and shallow-water multibeam sounding system is a shipboard hydrographic survey sonar class used for bathymetric mapping in coastal and mid-depth waters. Xiamen University documents a Kongsberg EM710 example of the system family, and Haixun 08 is described as carrying medium- and shallow-water multibeam sounding systems in a GONDOLA structure alongside deep-water survey gear.
F-35 Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS), Internally mounted electro-optical targeting sensor subsystem, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentF-35 Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS)Internally mounted electro-optical targeting sensor subsystemSide: UnspecifiedBuilt: Lockheed Martin / United StatesThe F-35 Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS) is Lockheed Martin's internally mounted F-35 sensor for precision air-to-air and air-to-surface targeting. It combines forward-looking infrared and infrared search-and-track functions in a low-observable installation, and Lockheed Martin says an Advanced EOTS upgrade is available for Block 4 development.
Coast Guard-specific multi-mode radar, Multi-mode surveillance radar, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentCoast Guard-specific multi-mode radarMulti-mode surveillance radarSide: UnknownBuilt: L3Harris Technologies / United StatesThe Coast Guard-specific multi-mode radar is L3Harris's AN/APY-11 multisensor radar installed on HC-130J long-range surveillance aircraft during Minotaur missionization. Coast Guard and L3Harris sources describe it as a 360-degree belly- and nose-mounted radar for maritime surveillance, search and rescue, and tracking ships, aircraft, vehicles, and rescue transponders.
Nighttime optical payload with thermal imaging camera, Thermal-imaging optical payload with 35 mm athermal lens, 2-axis gyrostabilization, and 2.4x digital zoom, Support EquipmentSupport EquipmentNighttime optical payload with thermal imaging cameraThermal-imaging optical payload with 35 mm athermal lens, 2-axis gyrostabilization, and 2.4x digital zoomSide: UnknownBuilt: Athlon Avia / UkraineThe nighttime optical payload with thermal imaging camera is Athlon Avia's stabilized night-vision sensor option for the A1-CM Furia UAV. War Wings Daily describes it as a thermal imager with a 35 mm athermal lens, 2-axis gyrostabilization, 2.4x digital zoom, and onboard video recording.
