Hood Tech's New UAV imaging system, which meets the highest National Imagery Interpretability Rating Scale, NIIRS 9, will soon be ready for the Navy's STUAS program.
Hood Tech's AltiCam 08 X300 turrets are part of two UAV systems being tested under the Early Operational Capability (EOC) for the Navy's Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (STUAS).

Hood Technology Corporation (Hood Tech) and is pleased to announce a new milestone: the accumulation of more than 500,000 hours for our camera systems used on board unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Most of those hours represent surveillance for combat operations in war theatres such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hood Tech imaging systems have flown more than 500,000 hours, and apparently recently help set a single Navy record for UAV use during a single deployment.
