The utility model relates to optoelectronic technology.

The prior art known autonomous optoelectronic module for detecting ground objects for robotic complexes (utility model patent RU No. 184184), placed on a gyro-stabilized platform for a robotic complex, containing a lens, a light distribution device that divides the input light flux into 3 (three) parallel image acquisition channels: infrared (IR) channel, visible channel, ultraviolet channel (UV), information from which, after preliminary processing, is transmitted to the board The second processor, which recognizes objects in images using a convolutional neural network, is transmitted to the image receiving equipment and the operator panel with a video viewing device.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the fuzzy image during movement and vibration of the technical means, which houses the optoelectronic module, and the inability to receive information in other (except infrared, ultraviolet and visible) ranges.

The technical task of the utility model is to expand the arsenal of optoelectronic intelligence.

The solution to the technical problem is achieved by the fact that the gyrostabilized optoelectronic device for a combat helicopter consists of a power supply unit, a multichannel signal processor, a memory unit, a radar unit, a high-resolution video camera, a time-of-flight camera, an infrared camera, a thermal imaging camera, a terahertz camera and wireless data transmission module, and the gyrostabilized platform is housed in a housing equipped with a unit mounted I to the fuselage of the helicopter, and the memory unit, a radar, a video camera of high resolution-flight camera, an infrared camera, a thermal imaging camera, terahertz camera and wireless communication unit via wires connected to the inputs of a power unit and a multichannel signal processor.

The technical result achieved by the claimed combination of features is to provide multichannel multispectral monitoring of dynamic objects using a helicopter in conditions of poor visibility and behind optically opaque obstacles in real time.

The gyro-stabilized platform on which the components of the device are located is placed in a housing equipped with a helicopter fuselage mounting block.

The device operates as follows.

Before starting work, the device is mounted on the fuselage of a combat helicopter and is oriented so that the radar is oriented in the under-helicopter space.

After turning on the power source, the underflight space is monitored:

in the range of microwave radiation (from 1 to 100 GHz) - using radar;

in the range of visible radiation (from 400 to 800 THz) - using a high-resolution video camera;

in the range of near infrared radiation (from 200 to 400 THz) - using an infrared camera;

in the range of far infrared radiation (from 100 to 200 THz) - using a thermal imaging camera;

in the range of terahertz radiation (from 0.3 to 3.0 THz) - using a terahertz camera.

In the process of multichannel multispectral monitoring, information is transmitted through a wireless data transmission module to a display installed in the helicopter cockpit and, if necessary, to a ground-based flight control station.

Upon completion of the multichannel multispectral monitoring of the state patterns of dynamic objects, the device’s power source is turned off.

Due to the fact that the components of the inventive device are mounted on a gyro-stabilized platform that provides constant parameters of the angular movement of the device under disturbances of the helicopter, which is used to detect objects, the formation of clear images during the movement and vibrations of the helicopter, which is used to detect objects.

Thus, the purpose of the claimed utility model has been achieved: a technical result has been achieved, which consists in providing multichannel multispectral monitoring of dynamic objects using a helicopter in conditions of poor visibility and behind optically opaque obstacles in real time.

The described elements of the claimed device are functionally interconnected and are in constructive unity, and the combination of its essential features is unknown from the prior art. Therefore, the inventive device is a new technical solution.
