Kestrel
Built Small. Think Tactical.
Introducing Kestrel
Kestrel is an ultra-compact EO/IR payload built for public safety, infrastructure monitoring, and government operations requiring rapid situational awareness.
With 52x total zoom, excellent SWaP efficiency, and full NDAA compliance, Kestrel enables small UAV platforms to deliver reliable, high-quality aerial observation in fast-moving scenarios.
3-Axis Precision. Full Control.
A high-performance 3-axis gimbal actively stabilizes Pan, Roll and Tilt, holding the sensor steady on target through aggressive maneuvers, wind and vibration for sharp, usable imagery in the air.
Multiple operating modes - Off, Lock, Follow and Mapping - adapt Kestrel to any mission profile, from precise target tracking to wide-area survey and inspection.
Long-Range Visual Stability
With up to ×52 total EO zoom, Kestrel delivers stable, long-range visual observation for ISR missions - resolving distant subjects and holding detail steady even at maximum magnification.

Laser Illuminator
An integrated laser illuminator module extends Kestrel's capability into low-light and night operations, enhancing target identification when visible light alone is not enough.
