Frequently Asked Questions

More questions? Speak with an Expert.

What kind of payload/camera options does SOTEN support?

SOTEN supports a one-touch swappable camera system: standard RGB (20 MP, 4K video), multispectral camera, optical zoom camera, and EO/IR combination cameras.

Is SOTEN designed for bad weather?

While SOTEN has IP43 resistance (light water spray / dust), it is not fully rain-proof. Flying in rain or heavy wind is not recommended; the IP43 rating helps with unexpected exposure to spray but does not mean full all-weather use.

Where is the SOTEN made?

ACSL SOTEN is made in Japan.

Where can I buy ACSL SOTEN drones in the U.S.?

DSLRPros is an official U.S. reseller providing full integration support, firmware updates, and bundle customization.

Which industries use the ACSL SOTEN?

The SOTEN is deployed for infrastructure inspection, mapping, agriculture, and public safety—anywhere modular payload flexibility is key.

Can the SOTEN fly BVLOS?

Yes, the platform supports LTE and encrypted telemetry links designed for BVLOS readiness, subject to FAA waiver approval.

Is the ACSL SOTEN drone NDAA-compliant?

Yes. Both the SOTEN aircraft and the TAITEN Smart Controller are NDAA-compliant. As of the time of this listing, the system is not currently on the DIU Blue UAS list, but meets NDAA Section 848 compliance requirements. Communications are secured with AES-256 encryption through ACSL Fides-Link, and the security architecture is built around ISO/IEC 15408 principles.

What makes ACSL SOTEN different from personal drones?

Unlike consumer drones, the ACSL SOTEN is designed for enterprise use—featuring modular payload support, NDAA-compliant builds, and secure data transmission. It’s ideal for government agencies, utilities, and commercial inspection teams who require professional-grade results and data protection.
