Sentera 6X Thermal Sensor
Radiometric Thermal Meets Multispectral Precision.
The Sentera 6X Thermal is a versatile dual-sensor payload combining FLIR Boson radiometric thermal imaging with full six-band multispectral capture. Purpose-built for operators who need both thermal anomaly detection and vegetation health data, the 6X Thermal delivers actionable insights from a single mission pass — mounted on Harris Aerial's heavy-lift Carrier drone platforms for large-area coverage.
Thermal and Spectral Data. One Flight. One Sensor.
The Sentera 6X Thermal is the efficient dual-data solution for operators who need radiometric thermal detection and multispectral vegetation analysis without the complexity or cost of flying separate sensors on separate missions. By integrating a FLIR Boson thermal camera with the 6X's six-band multispectral imager, the sensor delivers co-registered thermal and spectral data from a single flight pass across the same ground area.
The FLIR Boson thermal core captures absolute temperature per pixel across the 7.5–13.5 µm LWIR band — real radiometric data that supports anomaly detection, temperature threshold analysis, and quantitative reporting. Simultaneously, the multispectral channels produce calibrated NDVI, NDRE, and additional vegetation indices with DLS-corrected radiometry for agronomic confidence across variable lighting conditions.
Compact and lightweight, the 6X Thermal is well-matched for Harris Aerial's Carrier drone lineup. Operators benefit from extended flight endurance combined with the payload stability required for reliable thermal data at commercial mapping scales.

Compatible with Harris Aerial Carrier Drones
The Sentera 6X Thermal is designed for Harris Aerial's Carrier drone platform family. Carrier's extended flight endurance and stable payload bays support consistent thermal data collection across large survey areas.
Thermal + Spectral for Agriculture, Inspection & Commercial Operations
Agriculture Thermal Scouting
Detect irrigation system failures, waterlogged zones, frost-damaged areas, and drought stress earlier and more accurately than visual field scouting allows.
Irrigation & Soil Moisture
Map canopy temperature variation to identify irrigation non-uniformity, failing emitters, and soil moisture gradients across large field areas quickly and cost-effectively.
Building & Roof Inspection
Identify moisture infiltration, insulation gaps, and thermal bridging in commercial roofing and building envelopes with radiometric documentation for reporting and remediation.
Infrastructure Inspection
Survey pipelines, substations, and industrial facilities for thermal anomalies while collecting co-registered visual and multispectral data in the same flight pass.
Precision Agriculture NDVI
Simultaneously capture NDVI, NDRE, and vegetation index maps alongside thermal data for complete agronomic workflows from a single mission without swapping sensors.
Commercial UAV Services
Add both thermal and multispectral data products to your service offering with a single integrated sensor — expanding your revenue streams without adding aircraft or pilots.
