A drone pod is a streamlined nacelle section installed with equipment or weapons (usually called payloads) and is hung under the drone fuselage or wing. The installed pod can provide the aircraft with features not possessed in the first place. The installation of pods usually requires the support of onboard electronic equipment and need to consider the overall aerodynamics of the aircraft. Drone pods are generally installed on medium and large drones.
It loads optical cameras, infrared scanners, forward-looking infrared devices, laser radars, television cameras, synthetic aperture radars, communications equipment, and weaponry.
