"
We are excited to celebrate the shipping of the 2000th STAMP system to an extremely satisfied customer," Johnny Carni, VP Marketing, CONTROP, explained. "
Throughout the years, the STAMP family has gone through modifications and enhancement procedures that have kept it in its position as a market leader. Technology-wise, this is the only small camera payload in the world to incorporate 3 gimbals, which allows for an unprecedented stabilized picture when looking both horizontally and vertically. This high level of stabilisation is critical, particularly when using an uncooled thermal camera with a zoom lens, in order to provide the user with a clear and detailed image. With the STAMP, we have basically taken the most high-end technology in Electro-Optics and miniaturised it to fit even the smallest of platforms."
STAMP is a family of gyro-stabilised payloads especially designed for day and night tactical over-the-hill reconnaissance missions. Lightweight yet ruggedised, STAMP provides precise geolocation and can withstand high-shock landings. With low power consumption, STAMP incorporates only one LRU and provides the most cost-effective solution of its type.

"
CONTROP's STAMP line of EO/IR systems is in daily operational use in dozens of different locations and applications worldwide, and receives high praises from its users," Carni went on to say. "
We have plans to expand the line with new systems to fill up operational gaps and will hopefully be announcing a new STAMP system during 2016."
The STAMP Family includes the super lightweight newcomer- MICRO-STAMP – a 300g gyro-stabilised payload that provides a dual(2) FOV Uncooled IR camera and a Day Camera with a Continuous Zoom Lens; the M-STAMP, a 1.3kg gyro-stabilised Multi Sensor Payload with an Uncooled IR Camera with a Continuous Optical Zoom Lens, a Day Camera and a Laser Pointer; and the T-STAMP, a triple sensor gyro-stabilized EO/IR payload which includes a Cooled IR Camera with a Continuous Zoom Lens up to three degrees in the NFOV, a Day Camera and an optional Laser Pointer all in a compact and versatile 3.3kg payload.
