WISPR Gremsy Vio F1

NDAA-Compliant EO/IR Payload With 4K Optical Zoom, Thermal Detection, and 2,400m Ranging for SkyScout Series

The Gremsy VIO F1 is a compact, NDAA-compliant electro-optical and infrared payload configured for direct integration on the SkyScout Series platforms.

Weighing just 854 grams, this single 3-axis stabilized gimbal combines three sensor systems that enterprise and government teams often buy and integrate separately.

It includes a 4K EO camera with 20× optical zoom and up to 240× maximum hybrid zoom, a FLIR Boson 640R thermal sensor that captures 640 × 512 thermal images at 60 Hz with ≤50 mK sensitivity, and a laser rangefinder accurate to 0.1–0.5 m at distances of up to 2,400 m (1.5 miles).

Key Features and Benefits

• 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 standoff distance measurement at range.
• 3-axis stabilized gimbal: 854 g payload maintains stable imaging through flight dynamics and wind.
• SkyScout Series pre-integrated: configured for SkyScout Series platforms before shipment.
• Simultaneous EO and thermal streams: PiP, Side-by-Side, Sync, and overlay display modes supported.
• AI object detection: human and vehicle detection with auto zoom tracking on the live feed.
• NDAA compliant and FCC approved: cleared for government and public safety program procurement.
• GPS geotagging: location data embedded in EO and IR files for operational reporting and mapping.
• 128 GB microSD included: pre-installed UHS-I card for onboard EO and IR capture.

The VIO F1 is configured and tested before it ships. Software settings, control protocols, and payload interface are pre-set for the SkyScout Series platform, and the payload is ready for mount-and-go deployment on day one.

For fleet operators and solutions partners building out SkyScout-based ISR, inspection, search and rescue, and public safety programs, the VIO F1 addresses the sensor integration question directly: a single NDAA-compliant payload that covers optical zoom, thermal detection, and precision ranging without requiring custom integration work on the aircraft.

Simultaneous EO and thermal streaming is supported with PiP, Side-by-Side, Sync, and overlay display modes, AI object detection for humans and vehicles runs on the live feed with auto zoom tracking, and GPS geotagging embeds location data in both EO and IR image files.

Pre-Integrated Sensor Capability for Fleet-Level SkyScout Deployments

For solutions partners and fleet operators building SkyScout-based sensor programs, the integration overhead of a multi-sensor EO/IR payload is typically the friction point, not the capability itself.

The VIO F1 eliminates that friction by arriving pre-configured for the SkyScout Series platform. Software, control protocols, and communication interfaces are set before shipment, so the payload mounts and operates without additional setup.

The 240× combined zoom closes the standoff distance gap for surveillance and inspection, keeping the aircraft well clear of the subject while maintaining the resolution needed for positive identification or structural detail.

The FLIR Boson 640R's 60 Hz frame rate at 640×512 with ≤50 mK sensitivity supports full-darkness and smoke-penetrating thermal detection, and the 2,400 m rangefinder adds precise distance data to both EO and IR workflows.

For fleet operators sourcing multiple VIO F1 units across a SkyScout program, the pre-integrated configuration means every unit deploys identically—no per-unit setup variation, no integration inconsistency across the fleet.

Compatibility and System Integration

• SkyScout Series: compatible with SkyScout Series payload interface; consult your configuration requirements prior to ordering.
• ArduPilot and PX4: supported autopilot protocols for flight stack integration.
• 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.
• Public safety operations: AI object detection and auto zoom tracking support subject monitoring from altitude.
• Environmental monitoring: simultaneous EO and thermal capture supports vegetation and wildlife workflows.
• Asset security and industrial diagnostics: thermal imaging identifies heat anomalies across facility footprints.
• Night operations: 640×512 @ 60 Hz with ≤50 mK sensitivity enables full-darkness mission capability.

The VIO F1 is the EO/IR payload for SkyScout Series operators who need optical zoom, thermal detection, and precision ranging in a single NDAA-compliant, pre-integrated package. It's configured for your platform, cleared for government procurement, and ready to fly without additional setup on the day it arrives.

The Gremsy VIO F1 is the payload that SkyScout Series operators ask for when compliance, sensor depth, and integration simplicity are all mission requirements.
