Vantage Robotics news release Vesper’s extended range The combination of these features enables effective images down to 0.01 lux (the equivalent of a quarter moon at midnight), and the 320×240 custom-tuned thermal camera augments nighttime capabilities. Vesper’s payload includes two night vision 4K color cameras and an industrial grade thermal camera for superior performance. Vesper’s Greenseer Gimbal has a 4K EO camera with F1.0 optics and high sensitivity large pixels, exceptional stability for long exposure times / low frame rates, multi-frame noise compensation in the Snapdragon 845 image processing chip, and custom image tuning for optimal performance in low light. Running an operation at night? No problem: Let’s have a look at the Vantage Robotics video:Ĭheck out the Vesper Little light? No problem… The drone is capable of flying in GPS-denied locations, as well as in adverse RF conditions. Its “Vision Ground Control Station” includes an integrated, 2500-nit screen that can be viewed clearly in broad daylight, and the GCS also has an IP56 Ingress Protection factor, meaning it’s also fairly impervious to rain. Temperature? From -4 F (-20 C) through to 113 F (45 C). Vesper can fly in extreme weather, including heavy rain. The case can withstand a force of 200 pounds, or 90 kilograms. Vantage Robotics news release What are those design foundations? Vesper is a complete aerial reconnaissance system built upon user-centered design criteria obtained from military leaders, experienced operators, elite special forces, industry veterans, and DoD security experts. These respected leaders helped the Vantage team thoughtfully develop Vesper and Vision Ground Control Station and informed the foundations of the design. In fact, the company says the design of the drone itself was based on feedback it was given by the military, including “elite special forces.” Here’s how the company describes the product. It’s intended more as a reconnaissance device that would be used by police, military, Search and Rescue, etc. This is not a drone you would buy for casual consumer use. Plus, it contained a thermal sensor and a zoom, all wrapped up in its 690-gram package. Its unusual design, rapid deployment, and extended flight time really made it kind of stand out from the pack. We’ll admit it: The Vesper caught our eye when we were writing about the Blue sUAS list. To receive the updated price and purchase you will have to contact Vantage’s sales team. Update: While the price of this drone was originally shared to be ~$7,000 it is no longer available for the public and Vantage has informed us that the price is no longer correct.
