Capability OverviewCompany Documents Articles Regional Offices Contact

Ascent Vision Technologies (AVT) is a leading developer of C-UAS gyro-stabilized imaging systems for ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), target detection and tracking, and counter-UAV operations for aerospace and defense applications.

Our state-of-the-art stabilized gimbal payloads can be integrated into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAS, UAVs, drones, RPAS), UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) and USVs (unmanned surface vessels), as well as fixed-site installations, and are used to support vital airborne, ground and maritime missions around the world.

Integrated Counter UAV Technology

Our battle-proven integrated systems are designed for air defense, anti drone and counter rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) missions.

X-MADIS Anti-Drone Defense System

Detect, locate, track, identify and defeat sUAS

The X-MADIS (eXpeditionary Mobile Air Defense Integrated System) is a series of fully integrated counter-UAV / anti-drone systems that detect, locate, track, identify and defeat small UAS. Featuring integrated all-threat tactical air surveillance radar, gyro-stabilized optical sensor (EO and MWIR imagery), C2 interface and Electronic Warfare System, the X-MADIS provides a complete “soft-kill” solution to the growing threat of hostile UAS.

The rugged, reliable X-MADIS anti-drone system has been deployed in a range of extreme environments, providing unmatched force protection both on the move and in fixed locations. The platform-agnostic multi-mission system is available in three variants:

X-MADIS FS – Fixed Site Counter Drone System
Designed for fixed-site air defense missions, and mounted on tripods or fixed to permanent installations. The system includes radar, optics and electronic warfare capabilities for protection against drones and sUAS threats.

X-MADIS Mobile – Portable Protection Against Drones
Offers a rugged and portable counter-UAV solution, ideal for missions that move from one facility to the next. The C-UAS system includes radar, optics and a EW system, and is installed on a vehicle.

X-MADIS OTM – On-the-Move Anti Drone System
Provides an effective air defense solution for missions on-the-move. The complete C-UAS system includes radar, optics, an EW system and an all-terrain vehicle, and maintains high performance at speeds exceeding 30mph on rough terrain.

Drone Camera Gimbals for Aerial Detection Applications

Our 2-axis gyro-stabilized drone camera gimbals are designed for a range of aerial platforms, including fixed-wing UAVs, VTOL multi-rotors, and tethered drones. Featuring multi-spectral imaging sensors, our pan-tilt gimbals provide high-quality imagery in harsh climates and environments.

CM142 – 2-Axis Multi-Sensor Gimbal for UAVs, UAS, Drones

Gyro-stabilized EO, LWIR & laser sensor payload

The CM142 is a lightweight gyro-stabilized optical payload that provides accurate detection, recognition and identification data for UAS missions, day and night. The multi-sensor system is comprised of a high definition electro-optical sensor with 30x continuous optical zoom, LWIR sensor with 3x continuous optical zoom and a laser pointer.

The CM142 is designed to meet stringent UAS payload size and weight constraints, and is IP66-rated to provide rugged dust and weather resistance.

CM202A – 2-Axis Gyro-stabilized Drone Payload

Lightweight, rugged multi-sensor (EO, MWIR) gimbal for ISR

The CM202A is a rugged, flexible multi-sensor imaging payload featuring gyro-stabilization and onboard real-time video stabilization for sharp, accurate imagery. The system is ideal for long and short range target detection, recognition and identification during UAS ISR, emergency response and combat SAR missions.

The payload features electro-optical and thermal (SWIR, MWIR or LWIR) sensors, enabling users to identify an object accurately and make informed decisions with 30x daylight and 13x MWIR continuous optical zoom. Multiple targets can be tracked at once by tagging up to 5 moving objects within the FOV.
