The U.S. Army has advanced two vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) systems to the final round of the Future Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (FTUAS) Program of Record, both of which feature the HD80 gimbal from Trillium Engineering.
A provider of high-quality imaging systems for drones in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, Trillium Engineering now stands as the sole gimbal manufacturer remaining in the FTUAS program as it moves into the Option 1 period.
The HD80 series gimbal, tailored for Group 3 UAS platforms, provides cutting-edge imaging capabilities essential for military and defense operations. The HD80 enables operators to gather detailed visual information in real-time, critical for mission success in surveillance, reconnaissance, or target acquisition.
With specialized sensors for both day and night missions, the HD80 delivers high definition imagery 24/7.
Advanced Stabilization
Trillium Engineering’s imaging systems feature cutting-edge stabilization technology, delivering steady and reliable footage even in the most challenging environments.
This capability is crucial for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that operate in dynamic and often unpredictable conditions.
Versatile Payload Options
The HD80 series provides a variety of payload classifications, enabling customization to meet specific mission needs. This adaptability makes the HD80 series ideal for a wide range of applications, including intelligence gathering, search and rescue operations, and more.
Enhanced Laser Solutions
Trillium Engineering offers advanced laser options to enhance mission effectiveness, including:
- Laser Pointer: For precise target marking and coordination.
- Laser Range Finder: To accurately measure distances to targets or points of interest.
- Laser Designator: For precise target acquisition and guidance of laser-guided munitions.
As the FTUAS initiative progresses, Trillium Engineering asserts that the company remains committed to supporting all participants, leveraging its understanding of platform requirements and engineering solutions to deliver specialized support in the program.
Mark Mirelez, CEO at Trillium Engineering, stated; “We are extremely proud to be the only gimbaled imaging system integrated on the FTUAS finalist platforms.
“This achievement is a testament to our deep understanding of UAS technology and our ability to deliver seamless integration solutions.
“We are honored to be a trusted partner of each of these industry-leading companies and hope we’ll have the opportunity to support the contract winner.”
