Two Payloads, One Secure Platform
The included 20MP visible camera captures high-resolution, survey-grade imagery with a 1″ sensor and mechanical shutter.
For thermal missions, the SAMO payload powered by Teledyne FLIR Hadron 640R provides 640×512 radiometric thermal imaging with <20 mK sensitivity and ±5 °C accuracy, plus a 64 MP visible sensor for clear context.
Operators can swap between payloads in seconds, enabling them to adapt quickly to inspections, emergency response, or environmental monitoring.
Rugged Control and Secure Operations
SOTEN's swappable architecture, NDAA compliance, and AES-256 encrypted Fides-Link safeguard mission-critical data.
The TAITEN Smart Controller integrates ACSL's TAKEOFF app on Android 13, delivering responsive control, HDMI output, and resilient links via dual-band 2.4/5.8 GHz radios.
Optional LTE and offline maps expand capabilities for BVLOS and disconnected environments. With five included smart batteries and a rugged case, teams can rely on extended, secure operations wherever the mission takes them.
