4K EO, Radiometric Thermal & a 2400 m Rangefinder — NDAA-Compliant
The VIO F1 is an advanced lightweight EO/IR payload featuring a 4K zoom sensor, a 640×512 radiometric thermal camera, and an integrated 2400 m laser rangefinder on a stabilized 3-axis gimbal. Its FLIR Boson 640 thermal sensor qualifies the F1 as NDAA-compliant and approved for Department of Defense (DoD) use.
A 4K EO zoom camera, a radiometric thermal core, and a laser rangefinder — all gyro-stabilized on a 3-axis gimbal. Click the image to enlarge.
EO, thermal, and ranging in one lightweight turret — with AI tracking and an NDAA-compliant sensor stack.
A Sony block camera with 20x optical zoom (up to 240x combined) captures crisp 4K@30 video and 8.51 MP stills for long-range observation.
A FLIR Boson 640×512 uncooled core runs at 60 Hz with ≤ 50 mK sensitivity and full radiometry overlaid on the live video.
An eye-safe 905 nm Class 1 rangefinder ranges to 2400 m with 0.01–0.5 m precision — plus pinpoint target geolocation and geotagging.
DoD-approved sensor stack with basic and smart object tracking plus AI detection of cars and people — expandable via software updates.
