Miniature missile-borne continuous zoom television camera

A miniature continuous zoom TV camera was developed to meet the detection and recognition requirements of small cruise-mounted platforms. The 5× continuous zoom optical system was designed and optimized by using CODE V. Its imaging performance was evaluated from multiple dimensions, and its detection and recognition distance was simulated and verified by experiments. The physical weight of the prototype was 290 g, and the impact vibration test was carried out on it. The test results show that, after 100 g and 8 ms half-sine wave impact, the whole optical axis consistency of miniature missile-borne continuous zoom TV camera is better than 0.15 mrad.
