Key Features
1. Rapid Deployment and Flight Performance
The SIRAS prioritizes speed, achieving liftoff within 60 seconds—a critical advantage in emergencies. Its hot-swappable batteries allow uninterrupted missions, while the 31-minute flight time accommodates most operational needs. The forward obstacle-detection system further minimizes collision risks.
2. Dual-Camera System
Equipped with both thermal and visible-light cameras, the SIRAS provides comprehensive situational awareness:
-
Vue® TV128 visible-light camera:
16MP resolution with 128x zoom and MSX® technology, which overlays thermal and visible-light data for sharper imagery.
-
FLIR Boson® thermal camera:
640x512 resolution with 5x digital zoom and temperature measurement. Compatible with FLIR Thermal Studio™ for detailed analysis.
3. Data Security
The drone eschews cloud connectivity, storing all data internally. Users can operate it without creating online profiles, mitigating data breach risks.
4. Applications
The SIRAS excels in diverse fields:
-
Industrial and utility inspections:
Identifying faults in power lines, pipelines, and bridges.
-
