ACSL SOTEN TENSO Smart Controller

ACSL SOTEN TENSO Smart Controller: purpose-built control hardware for ACSL SOTEN missions

The ACSL SOTEN TENSO Smart Controller is a dedicated control device engineered exclusively for the ACSL SOTEN drone platform. Designed to run the ACSL TAKEOFF ground control application natively, it consolidates flight control, system status, and mission execution into a single, self-contained interface. Built for professional, institutional, and public-sector operators, the controller prioritizes dependable field performance, outdoor screen visibility, and tight integration with the SOTEN ecosystem.

System highlights

• Native ACSL TAKEOFF software: enables direct, platform-level SOTEN control
• SOTEN-only compatibility: optimized specifically for the ACSL SOTEN aircraft
• 5-inch Full HD display: presents flight data and live imagery clearly
• 1000-nit screen output: supports visibility in bright outdoor conditions
• IP43-rated housing: suitable for light rain and dusty environments
• Wireless communication capability: supports flexible mission deployment
• Physical control layout: enables precise piloting without touchscreen reliance
• USB-C power input: allows extended use when externally powered

Native control through the ACSL TAKEOFF application

The TENSO Smart Controller is designed to operate directly with the ACSL TAKEOFF ground control application, removing the need for smartphones or tablets during flight operations. Operators can access aircraft status, flight modes, and mission tools directly from the controller, simplifying setup and reducing system complexity. This native integration supports consistent workflows and easier standardization across SOTEN programs.

Wireless communication designed for professional use

The controller supports wireless communication suitable for professional drone missions conducted with the ACSL SOTEN platform. Its design enables stable command and telemetry links during operations in infrastructure, industrial, and public-sector environments. This capability supports reliable aircraft management while remaining aligned with ACSL’s intended deployment model for regulated and enterprise use.

Outdoor-readable display paired with physical controls

A 5-inch Full HD display rated at approximately 1000 nits provides clear visibility of live video, telemetry, and system information in outdoor conditions. The controller’s physical control sticks and dedicated buttons allow operators to maintain confident aircraft control during critical flight phases, minimizing dependence on touch interaction and improving handling consistency.

Field-ready design with operational flexibility

The TENSO Smart Controller features an IP43-rated enclosure and is designed to operate within a temperature range of 14°F to 104°F (-10°C to 40°C). Typical operating time is approximately three hours, with extended use possible when supplying power via the USB-C port. Integrated indicators and vibration alerts assist with situational awareness during active missions.
