Airborne Surveillance & ISR Systems
See it. Know it. Act on it.
When the mission demands positive identification at range, day or night, the platform underneath your aircraft matters. The GSS S410 delivers the imaging performance and operational reliability that serious airborne programs require.
Built for the missions that matter most.
Law Enforcement
Airborne law enforcement units operate in high-pressure environments where image quality and system reliability aren’t negotiable. The S410 gives airborne officers a compact, full-featured EO/IR platform with the performance to track, identify, and support ground teams — and the dependability to be there when the call comes in.
The S410 is a single line-replaceable unit. Keep a spare on the shelf and an equipment issue never has to become a grounded aircraft.
The GSS S410: Serious imaging in a serious package.
Standard configuration pairs 4K EO video with a high-definition MWIR thermal camera and an integrated laser rangefinder — giving operators full-spectrum day/night imaging plus precise geo-location of ground targets, in a ~10-inch diameter ball that fits existing mounts and weight budgets.
Key specifications
4-axis gyro-stabilization · ~10" diameter · Single LRU · 4K EO video · HD MWIR thermal · Integrated laser rangefinder · ITAR-free · Marine-capable configurations available
S-Series Hand Controller
Lightweight and intuitive, our surveillance hand controller gives you the functions you need, where you need them.
Detect. Recognize. Identify.
Airborne surveillance value is measured against a simple standard: can your crew detect a subject of interest, recognize what it is, and positively identify it — at operationally useful ranges, in real conditions? The S410 is built to answer yes to all three, in both EO and thermal.
GeoPro™ INS integration adds moving maps, geo-pointing, and video tracker capabilities — turning the S410 into a full situational awareness system, not just a camera.
Combined Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Electro-Optical (EO) Daylight Imaging
Advanced sensors allow operators to see through fog, haze, low light or even total darkness. By integrating MWIR and EO we create a robust and versatile system suitable for a wide range of operational scenarios.
Comprehensive Day/Night Coverage: Get high-resolution color imagery during daylight hours for positive visual identification, and use thermal imaging when subjects are obscured by darkness or haze. Combine the two for round-the clock capabilities.
Enhanced Target Identification: EO and MWIR together allow positive target identification even in visibility-challenged environments.
Reduce False Alarms: Enhanced visual information reduces the opportunity for false threat identification.
Improved Situational Awareness:
Dual-spectrum observation enhances overall situational awareness to allow better understanding of the environment, enabling faster, more informed decision-making.
Improved Target Tracking: Track heat signatures using MWIR cameras while analyzing detailed visual information via EO to monitor moving targets with improved accuracy and reliability.
Optimized Performance in Challenging Conditions: In fog, smoke, or low light conditions, MWIR bridges an essential gap in image clarity.
Increased Detection Range: MWIR cameras often have longer detection ranges compared to EO cameras, especially in low-light conditions.
Redundancy and Reliability:
Combining MWIR and EO cameras provides redundancy, ensuring the overall reliability of the system.
Multi-Sensor Fusion: Image blending from IR and EO cameras allows for multi-sensor fusion, where the strengths of each sensor can be leveraged to provide a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the surveillance area.
Deterrence and Response: Get the upper hand by quickly assessing and responding to potential threats.
Optional Sensors include:
Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR): Allows for seeing through haze, fog, and dense smoke delivering clear imaging and visibility.
Spotter Scope: Makes detailed observation of distant objects or targets possible through high magnification optics.
Laser Rangefinder/Laser Pointer: Get instant, accurate distance-to-target measurements with the laser rangefinder and precise targeting with the laser pointer. The combination provides enhanced targeting and improved visibility contributing to better target acquisition.
Laser Illuminator: Provides effective illumination for improved visibility in low-light conditions and over long distances. The narrow beam control minimizes light spill and allows for enhanced night vision, sensor performance and target identification.
Real-Time, Mission Critical Information
Our system offers advanced functionality that integrates seamlessly with information-gathering real-time communication equipment.
Video Tracker: Robust tracking provides solid designated tracks on moving and non-moving objects in a wide range of applications.
Geo-Pointing: Point to a specific location in seconds. (Latitude/Longitude or Street Address)
Moving Map/Augmented Reality: Follow and mark your path with ease and versatility with system overlays that offer the pilot and tracking team to quickly orient and communicate based on street names and other landmarks.
Geo DVR: Record the entire event for full-motion and geo-spatial awareness and review.
Video & Data Link: Real-time communication with forces on the ground for a successful team mission.
Search Light Slaving: Effortlessly keep subject illuminated in turret line-of-sight for ease of identification, following target and tracking.
Fire Safety
Fire Recon & Wildfire Operations
Aerial fire reconnaissance demands real-time situational awareness in some of the most challenging imaging conditions imaginable — smoke, heat shimmer, low light, and rapidly changing terrain. The S410’s MWIR camera cuts through smoke and haze to give incident commanders a clear picture of fire behavior, perimeter location, and resource positioning when visibility on the ground is zero.
Geo-referenced video means every frame is mapped. Your team knows exactly what they’re looking at and where.
“The GSS system has been a game changer for our fire recon operations. The MWIR camera cuts through smoke like nothing we’ve used before.”
