ORUS-L Payload System FAQ

1. Product Overview

Q1. What is the ORUS-L system? A: The ORUS-L is a high-performance dual-sensor EO/IR gimbal payload designed for UAV integration. It supports AI-based detection, radiometric thermal imaging, real-time object tracking, and precision geolocation with a built-in laser rangefinder. Available in two variants:

  • ORUS-L (standard version)

  • ORUS-L NDAA (NDAA-compliant version with FLIR Boson IR sensor)

Q2. What sensors are included? A:

  • EO Camera: 1/1.8” STARVIS CMOS sensor, 30x enhanced optical zoom

  • IR Camera:

    • ORUS-L: COIN612 IR sensor

    • ORUS-L NDAA: FLIR Boson 640R (Radiometric, 60Hz)

  • Laser Rangefinder: Class 1M, up to 2400 m
