Micro-Size Electro-Optical Surveillance Payload (Micro-VESPA)
Small unmanned airborne platforms, both fixed-wing and rotary-wing, are employed more and more extensively for surveillance and tactical intelligence purposes. For example, some military organizations currently employ small UAVs for ‘over-the-hill’ tactical surveillance missions even at the company level.
Owing to the size and weight restrictions that apply to these platforms, the payloads they may carry cannot be as elaborate and versatile as the higher-capacity payloads carried by larger platforms. Nevertheless, these platforms should be fitted with the best possible surveillance payloads available in this size category.
ACS presents Micro-VESPA – Micro-Size Versatile Electro-Optical Surveillance Payload for small UAS and multicopters.
Micro-VESPA is an ultra-compact electro-optical surveillance payload designed specifically for small unmanned aerial platforms, both fixed-wing and hovering. Measuring only 4.5″ across by 190mm high and weighing only 1.1kg, this payload accommodates a daytime camera and a thermal imager in a single compact and lightweight capsule. Best-in-class sensors and effective mechanical stabilization guarantee excellent image quality.
