miniARINC Mapper

Small footprint. Wide-area intelligence.

Three LWIR sensors and RGB imaging in a GPS-antenna-sized aviation system. Orbit-friendly passive fire mapping without special flight paths.

Lab 308 miniARINC Mapper compact aviation camera

// miniARINC Mapper · Preliminary

A compact system. A complete view.

A combined 150° horizontal field of view brings three LWIR sensors and a 3.2 MP RGB sensor together for aerial fire intelligence. Integrated GPS/INS, onboard multi-day storage and native cloud offload connect imagery to geolocated maps in a housing designed for the Mini-ARINC hole pattern.

Price TBD/Coming in 2027

// Capabilities

Intelligence in the air. Less hardware.

Thermal + RGB coverage

Three LWIR sensors capture thermal imagery alongside a 3.2 MP RGB sensor, across a combined 150° horizontal field of view.

Geolocated video and snapshots

Integrated GPS/INS supports H.264 video with MISB KLV metadata and full-resolution georeferenced stills with infrared temperature information.

Orbit-friendly passive mapping

Collect aerial fire imagery without special flight paths. Onboard storage and native cloud offload connect collection to shared maps and streaming video.
