ACSL SOTEN Thermal Package with TAITEN Smart Controller & SAMO Payload: Secure Imaging with Visible and Thermal Options
The ACSL SOTEN Thermal Package with TAITEN Smart Controller provides professionals with secure, flexible imaging for inspection, utilities, and public safety. Compact, foldable, and NDAA-compliant, SOTEN integrates dual-band encrypted connectivity with a rugged IP43-rated airframe. This package includes two swappable payloads-the Standard 20MP visible camera and the NDAA-compliant SAMO Thermal Payload-giving operators the ability to choose the right sensor for each mission. The TAITEN Smart Controller adds a daylight-readable 7″ display, IP54 protection, and up to 8 hours of runtime, ensuring reliable field performance.
Swappable Payloads for Mission Flexibility
The included 20MP visible camera delivers sharp, survey-ready imagery with a 1″ sensor and mechanical shutter. When thermal capability is required, the SAMO payload powered by Teledyne FLIR Hadron 640R provides 640×512 radiometric thermal imaging with <20 mK sensitivity and ±5 °C accuracy, plus a 64 MP visible channel for contextual clarity. Operators can swap between payloads in seconds, tailoring the aircraft to mapping, inspection, or emergency response missions.
Rugged, Secure, and Field-Ready
SOTEN's swappable design, NDAA compliance, and AES-256 encrypted Fides-Link architecture ensure secure operations in sensitive environments. The TAITEN Smart Controller integrates the ACSL TAKEOFF app on Android 13 for smooth control and camera management, with dual-band 2.4/5.8 GHz links, optional LTE, and offline maps supporting reliable connectivity even in remote areas. With five included smart batteries and a rugged transport case, the package is built for extended field deployment.
