ACSL SOTEN SAMO Thermal-Optical Payload

ACSL SAMO | Swappable Thermal Payload for SOTEN

The ACSL SAMO is an NDAA-compliant, swappable thermal payload purpose-built for the ACSL SOTEN drone. At its core is the ITAR-free Teledyne FLIR OEM Hadron™ 640R module, pairing a radiometric 640×512 Boson® thermal camera with a 64MP visible sensor for clear, context-rich imaging.

Recent upgrades include a powerful 20× zoom capability, with MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) compatibility coming soon. MSX technology overlays visible edge detail onto thermal imagery, delivering sharper definition and greater situational awareness in every mission.

Mission-Ready, SOTEN-Integrated

Compact and rugged with IP54 protection, SAMO weighs just ~56 g and integrates seamlessly with the TAITEN controller and TAKEOFF ground station software, while SAMO’s one-touch mount makes payload swaps fast between missions, ensuring dependable performance in public safety, inspection, and field operations.

Features:

• Dual-Sensor Module: Radiometric 640 × 512 Boson® thermal + 64 MP visible
• Zoom & Fusion: 20× optical zoom (visible) and planned MSX® thermal-visible fusion
• NDAA & ITAR-Free: Built around the Hadron™ 640R for secure deployments
• Compact, Efficient: ≈56 g (≈1.98 oz), ~1.8 W typical power, IP54 module sealing
• Optics & FOV: Thermal 32° HFOV (13.6 mm EFL); Visible 67° HFOV
• SOTEN-Integrated: One-touch swappable payload; TAKEOFF app and TAITEN controller integration
