Gremsy integrates the Boson radiometric thermal camera module as part of its gimbaled US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliant Vio F1 drone payload. The Vio F1 is an advanced, lightweight electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) payload for asset and infrastructure inspection, disaster relief, firefighting, search and rescue (SAR) and public safety missions.

The Vio F1 features a Sony 4K Block Zoom EO sensor with up to 240x zoom and a 640 x 512 radiometric NDAA-compliant and ITAR-free Boson thermal camera with up to 8x zoom. The payload also integrates a 2,400-metre laser range finder, making it an ideal option for industrial inspections and applications. With its integrated sensors, users can seamlessly engage the advanced functionalities of the payload through its diverse and intuitive viewing modes, allowing for individual and combined visible-thermal views.

“Working with the global leader in thermal imaging through the Thermal by FLIR programme empowered Gremsy to drive innovation and get Vio swiftly to market,” said Vinh Tran, CEO at Gremsy. “Our goal was to create a payload that is compatible with multiple platforms, including Pixhawk, CubePilot and Skynode and to offer an easy-to-integrate solution for any drone maker, including BLUE UAS providers.”

Vio’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) features provide advanced detection and auto zoom capabilities that are critical for public safety and SAR operations. AI detection offers accurate and automated identification of key objects, including humans, vehicles, and boats. Layered with AI Auto Zoom, the system can automatically zoom in on the selected object for the best and most useful view. The zoom level in tracking mode automatically adjusts as the object moves closer or farther away, eliminating the need for teams to adjust the zoom during flight.

“Gremsy is a known innovator in advancing aerial imaging technology, making it an ideal candidate for the Thermal by FLIR programme,” said Dan Walker, vice president, product development, Teledyne FLIR. “The Vio offers precision and accuracy, plus the upcoming implementation of our radiometric JPG file format will soon enable pilots to leverage the FLIR Thermal Studio Suite analysis and reporting software.”
