TD-STAMP is Controp Precision Technologies' Israeli lightweight tri-sensor EO/IR payload for small UAS and VTOL aircraft. Public 2011 launch coverage described a gyro-stabilized payload of about 5 kg with a CCD/day channel, cooled FLIR, and laser designator for compact surveillance and target-designation missions; later reporting places it within Controp's broader STAMP miniature-payload family rather than proving independent conflict use.
TD-STAMP sits in Controp's broader STAMP stabilized miniature payload family; public sources also describe adjacent T-STAMP, M-STAMP, and T-STAMP-XD configurations without making them separate catalog links here.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
| T-STAMP | Triple-sensor miniature payload | The 2011 Controp launch coverage described T-STAMP as a sub-3 kg triple-sensor day/night payload with a laser pointer, while separating TD-STAMP as the heavier laser-designator version.

| M-STAMP | Multi-sensor miniature payload | The same STAMP-family coverage described M-STAMP as a compact day/night payload with an uncooled thermal channel, day camera, and laser pointer. Sources: Controp announces lightweight multi sensor payload for small UAS |
| T-STAMP-XD | Group 2 UAV laser-designator payload | EDR Magazine reported the later T-STAMP-XD as a 5.7 kg laser-designator surveillance and targeting payload for Group 2 UAVs, so it is treated as adjacent family context rather than an alias for TD-STAMP. |
Defense Update and sUAS News reported TD-STAMP as an Orbiter 3 payload during the UAV's 2011 launch coverage.
| Carrier | Carrier type | Carriage evidence |
|---|---|---|
 | Small tactical UAV | Orbiter 3 launch coverage described TD-STAMP as a compact gyro-stabilized Controp payload for the UAV, combining a CCD/day channel, cooled FLIR or thermal imager, and a laser designator.

Controp positioned TD-STAMP as the laser-designator branch of its compact STAMP miniature-payload work for small aerial platforms. The public record is strongest for product identity and Orbiter 3 carriage, while direct conflict use remains unsourced.

The 2011 TD-STAMP reports put the laser-designator payload at about 5 kg, while a later T-STAMP-XD report gives 5.7 kg for a separate Group 2 UAV family member.

Orbiter 3 reporting ties TD-STAMP to a small tactical UAS with modular payload carriage rather than to a standalone conflict-use record.

EDR Magazine reported T-STAMP-XD as a later STAMP-family laser-designator payload for Group 2 UAVs, useful family context but not an alias for the 2011 TD-STAMP record.
