Why
Traditional Payloads Fall Short

Why
Traditional Payloads Fall Shortt

Most small UAS camera systems on the market are not built for defense-grade performance or compliance.The GreenSight EO/LWIR Camera addresses the key limitations of traditional payloads:

SWaP Challenge

1

SWaP Challenge

Competing sensors exceed acceptable size, weight, and power limits for small tactical platforms.

Integration Complexity

2

Integration Complexity

Off-the-shelf systems require heavy mounts or external power converters, reducing reliability and flight time.

Compliance Risk

3

Compliance Risk

Many popular camera modules rely on non-NDAA components, limiting their use in defense programs.

Mission Limitations

4

Mission Limitations

Poor low-light performance and low thermal resolution hinder ISR effectiveness.
