Orus L Payload

The Orus L Payload is a compact, aerodynamically optimized electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) camera system engineered for high-mobility unmanned aerial platforms. Designed for deployment on both fixed-wing and VTOL UAVs operating in contested or challenging terrain, its spherical IP55-rated housing ensures sustained performance in adverse weather, dusty conditions, and at airspeeds up to 100 km/h.

The system integrates a 25x zoom EO camera with 4K resolution and enhanced low-light capability, alongside a radiometric thermal imager powered by a Blue UAS-compliant FLIR sensor, making it ideal for ISR, critical infrastructure inspection, and SAR operations.

The onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin module unlocks real-time AI-driven analysis and automated detection capabilities, reducing operator workload and enabling autonomy at the edge. Precision targeting and georeferenced mapping are enabled via a long-range LRF (up to 2400 meters), supporting terrain profiling and target coordinate generation.

The Orus L's embedded intelligence, stabilized optics, and robust mechanical design make it a mission-ready payload for tactical UAV operations requiring multi-domain awareness and actionable data.
