The TK-8 SMART SENSOR payload is optimized for mission versatility by delivering high-quality imagery over wide-areas, from varying altitudes, day or night. Best-in-class sensors across five spectral bands (RGB, NIR, SWIR, LWIR and MWIR) provide an unparalleled depth of scene detail and are operated by powerful onboard AI software that automates payload operation and important mission-specific mapping, detection, and analysis tasks.
Key features:
- Cover up to hundereds of thousands of acres an hour
- Image simultaneously in five spectral bands
- Day & night capabilities
- Horizon-to-horizon coverage
- Powerful suite of onboard AI
