IAI unveils MOSP 5000: advanced multi-sensor payload for aerial and maritime platforms [VIDEO]

Equipped with a laser designator, the MOSP 5000 provides precise munition guidance and enhances operational effectiveness in aerial and maritime missions. It is designed for use on various platforms, including mission aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, ships, and maritime vessels, enabling detection, tracking, identification, and target marking.

The payload integrates daylight, infrared (night), and Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) cameras, offering continuous optical zoom for high-quality imaging in challenging environments. These capabilities ensure superior visibility in harsh weather conditions such as smoke, haze, and cloud cover.

A key feature of the MOSP 5000 is its high image stabilisation and AI-driven automatic target tracking, allowing users to monitor multiple targets simultaneously. Its long-range observation performance makes it an essential tool for defence forces requiring accurate intelligence gathering and engagement support.

Developed by TAMAM, IAI’s electro-optics and navigation division, the MOSP 5000 is the latest addition to its suite of advanced electro-optical systems. It follows in the footsteps of successful systems such as MOSP 3000, MiniPOP, Tactical POPSTAR, MegaPOP, and the legacy POP300, benefiting from over 60 years of experience in defence technology development.

Ariel Wisniak, Vice President and General Manager of the TAMAM Division at IAI, highlighted that the MOSP 5000 represents a significant advancement in stabilised observation systems. He noted that the integration of AI capabilities, laser designation, and automatic target tracking enhances operational effectiveness for military forces worldwide.

The system is designed with high flexibility, allowing for customisation based on mission requirements and seamless integration across different platforms. Its miniaturised and modular design ensures easy adaptation to various operational needs while maintaining exceptional image quality and stability.

TAMAM is a leading supplier of electro-optical systems to the Israeli Navy and Air Force, with thousands of operational hours in real-world defence missions. IAI remains at the forefront of global electro-optical innovation, delivering stabilised observation systems and inertial navigation solutions to military and security forces worldwide.
