ACSL SOTEN Multispectral Camera

ACSL SOTEN Multispectral Camera: Controlled spectral imaging for SOTEN field missions

The ACSL SOTEN Multispectral Camera is a swappable gimbal-mounted payload designed specifically for the ACSL SOTEN NDAA-compliant drone platform. Built to capture high-resolution multispectral imagery, it supports RGB TIFF 16-bit output for precise analysis workflows. A 3-axis stabilized gimbal, mechanical and electronic shutter options, and secure AES-256 encryption make this camera well suited for agriculture, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure inspection missions requiring consistent spectral data and controlled handling.

Multispectral imaging and optical configuration

• 1-inch sensor captures high-resolution multispectral imagery with 20 MP architecture.
• RGB TIFF 16-bit output supports quantitative analysis and post-processing workflows.
• 28 mm equivalent lens provides balanced coverage for mapping and inspection tasks.
• Field of view of 64° horizontal supports wide-area data collection.
• Aperture range from f/2.8 to f/11 adapts to varying lighting conditions.
• ISO sensitivity from 125 to 6400 supports diverse operational environments.
• Mechanical and electronic shutter options reduce motion artifacts during flight.
• TIFF still image resolution of 2720 × 1814 supports consistent dataset generation.

Stabilized capture for repeatable data collection

A 3-axis stabilized gimbal actively controls pan, tilt, and roll to maintain alignment during flight. With a minimum control angle of ±0.02°, the system supports precise framing for repeatable capture. This stability is critical for multispectral missions where consistent angle and overlap directly affect data quality and downstream analysis.

Modular payload design for adaptable operations

The Multispectral Camera is engineered as part of the SOTEN hot-swappable payload ecosystem. Operators can exchange sensors efficiently between missions without extensive setup, enabling rapid transitions between visual, thermal, and multispectral workflows. This modularity reduces aircraft downtime and improves mission efficiency across diverse operational requirements.

Platform compatibility and hardware interfaces

• Compatible exclusively with the ACSL SOTEN drone platform.
• Hot-swappable payload mount supports rapid field replacement.
• 10-pin pogo connector provides power and data communication.
• USB interface supports live view and control signals.
• microSD storage supports data recording up to 512 GB capacity.
