About XSPECTER
XSPECTER GmbH develops and manufactures mobile pan-tilt systems for professional electro-optical sensors such as thermal imaging, low-light and multispectral cameras. The core product TCROW DEFENSE MUNIN (MPO: 6760-01086) is developed and manufactured in Germany and carries payloads up to 6.5 kg. The system offers continuous 360° rotation, a tilt range of -35° to +35° and can be deployed on tripods, magnetic or suction mounts, as well as in project-specific vehicle and system solutions. The hardware is complemented by the TCROW app for iOS/Android and a web dashboard for operation, configuration and diagnostics, including integration with control controllers and tactical power/data hubs. Components are produced, among other things, by SLS 3D printing (PA12, PA11-CF) and machining; shock-critical areas are reinforced with TPU. Customers and partners come from defense and reconnaissance technology (C4ISR), including Safran Vectronix, Safran Electronics & Defense, Pixels on Target, UXV Technologies and Glenair.
