The pods will carry the full ViDAR suite of ultra-high resolution electro optic and infra-red cameras as well as image processing hardware, providing a fully integrated system. The ViDAR SCAR-Pod is easily installed to the airframe, providing a highly efficient autonomous search capability that is able to detect targets that radars cannot find (Picture source: Sentient Vision)
