The Starling Payloads collection brings together the most capable NDAA-compliant EO/IR sensors and compute systems available for professional UAS platforms. From compact day/night gimbals to 360° multi-axis systems with active illumination, every payload is built for ISR, public safety, and enterprise drone operations.

Multi-Payload. One Platform. Zero Compromise.
Every payload in the Starling lineup is NDAA-compliant and engineered for real-world ISR missions. Select from compact EO/IR gimbals, 360° rotating sensors with 850nm illuminators, high-definition thermal systems, and onboard edge compute — all purpose-built for professional UAS integration.

NDAA-Compliant by Design — Every sensor and compute module meets federal procurement standards, ensuring mission eligibility for government, defense, and public safety operators.

Full-Spectrum EO/IR Coverage — From the compact Next Vision Starling to the 360° Raptor with 200mW 850nm illumination, the lineup covers day, night, and low-light ISR at every altitude.

Modular Payload Ecosystem — Pair any gimbal with the Spectra Video Processor for advanced signal routing, encoding, and real-time video distribution across your ground station network.
