Gremsy Vio F1 for SkyScout Series

Gremsy VIO F1: Three Sensors, One NDAA-Compliant Payload for SkyScout Series

The Gremsy VIO F1 is a lightweight, NDAA-compliant electro-optical and infrared payload built for professional day-to-night missions on the SkyScout Series drones.

It integrates three sensor systems in a single 854-gram, 3-axis stabilized package: a 4K EO camera with 20× optical zoom and 240× combined maximum zoom, a FLIR Boson 640R thermal sensor delivering 640×512 imagery at 60 Hz with ≤50 mK sensitivity, and a laser rangefinder accurate to 0.1–0.5 m at ranges up to 2,400 m (1.5 miles).

Configured for the SkyScout Series, it ships pre-integrated with the software and settings needed for mount-and-go deployment — no custom configuration required.

Payload Highlights

• FLIR Boson 640R thermal sensor: 640×512 @ 60 Hz with ≤50 mK sensitivity for day-to-night detection.
• 4K EO camera: 8.51 MP 1/2.5-inch CMOS with 20× optical and 240× combined maximum zoom.
• 2,400 m laser rangefinder: 0.1–0.5 m accuracy for precise distance measurement at range.
• 3-axis stabilization: 854 g gimbal maintains stable imaging through flight dynamics and wind.
• Simultaneous EO and thermal streams: PiP, Side-by-Side, Sync, and overlay display modes supported.
• AI object detection: human and vehicle detection on live feed with auto zoom tracking.
• NDAA compliant and FCC approved: meets government and public safety procurement requirements.
• GPS geotagging: location data embedded in EO and IR image files for mapping and reporting workflows.
• 128 GB microSD included: UHS-I card for onboard EO and IR capture pre-installed in the box.

For government, public safety, and industrial operators running ISR, infrastructure inspection, search and rescue, or environmental monitoring missions on SkyScout Series platforms, the VIO F1 delivers the imaging depth, thermal detection, and precise ranging those missions demand.

The EO camera's 20× optical and 30× super-resolution zoom, combined for a 240× maximum, resolve fine detail at standoff distances that keep the aircraft well clear of the subject or structure under observation.

AI object detection for humans and vehicles runs on the live feed with auto zoom tracking, and simultaneous EO and thermal streams are supported with PiP, Side-by-Side, Sync, and EO/IR overlay display modes.

Three Sensor Systems, One Pre-Integrated Payload

The VIO F1's operational value is in what it replaces: three separate sensor systems that would otherwise require independent mounting, calibration, and integration work on the aircraft.

The 4K EO camera, thermal sensor, and laser rangefinder operate from a single 3-axis stabilized gimbal, share a unified control and display interface, and connect to the SkyScout Series via a single mount the aircraft already supports.

The VIO F1 is configured and tested before it ships. Its software settings, control interface, and communication protocols are all pre-set, so the operator just mounts it and flies.

Compatibility and System Integration

• SkyScout Series: compatible with SkyScout Series payload mount interface; consult your specific variant requirements prior to ordering.
• ArduPilot and PX4: supported autopilot protocols for integration with compatible flight stacks.
• UART and Ethernet: supported control interfaces for payload communication and configuration.
• microSD up to 128 GB: onboard storage for simultaneous EO and IR capture during flight.

Applications and Use Cases

• ISR and surveillance: 240× combined zoom and thermal detection support long-range situational awareness.
• Search and rescue: FLIR Boson 640R detects heat signatures in darkness, smoke, and dense terrain.
• Critical infrastructure inspection: 2,400 m rangefinder and optical zoom resolve structural detail at standoff distance.
• Public safety operations: AI object detection and auto zoom tracking support subject monitoring from altitude.
• Environmental monitoring: simultaneous thermal and EO capture supports vegetation and wildlife survey workflows.
• Asset security and industrial diagnostics: thermal imaging identifies heat anomalies across large facility footprints.
• Night operations: 640×512 thermal at 60 Hz with ≤50 mK sensitivity supports full-darkness mission capability.

The Gremsy VIO F1 gives SkyScout Series operators optical zoom, thermal detection, and precision ranging in a single pre-integrated, NDAA-compliant payload — no integration overhead, no compliance gaps.
