Velox is a two-axis gyro-stabilized EO/IR payload designed to meet a wide range of commercial, industrial and defense aerial imaging and surveillance applications. The versatile imaging system features a low SWaP footprint, enabling longer UAV flight times and mission endurances, and is ideal for a wide range of drone platforms, including multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft, and unmanned helicopters.
Featuring a 12 MP RGB camera and an uncooled 640 x 512 LWIR camera, the advanced payload achieves precision elevation and azimuth stabilization of better than 80 μRad. With excellent dynamic performance, it can compensate for even large-amplitude vibrations, delivering low-light and night-time imaging with no blur.
Velox provides high-speed step and stare capabilities, and can produce a panoramic matrix of up to 10 x 5 tiles at six tiles per second for wide-area coverage. The payload is controlled via MAVLink, and can output h.264-compliant video on up to three ports simultaneously.
