Vision for Airborne Performance

How Imaging Powers Modern Aerospace Systems

In aerospace engineering, imaging systems are critical tools for situational awareness, structural integrity checks, mission recording, and environmental sensing. Unlike terrestrial systems, aerospace vision demands high fidelity in environments where weight, airflow, and G-forces limit traditional design approaches.

Vehicle imaging system deployed in urban infrastructure

  • UAV Imaging Payloads

    • Lightweight aerospace imaging systems enable accurate capture during flight maneuvers and patrols
    • NIR-enhanced modules provide data for vegetation indices, heat mapping, and night flights
    • Supports integration with gimbals, vibration isolators, and thermal isolation mounts

  • Cockpit and Cabin Monitoring

    • Compact camera modules track pilot focus, alertness, and crew behavior without distraction
    • Low-light visibility through NIR imaging avoids interference with cockpit instrumentation
    • Secure output paths ready for live transmission to flight control or telemetry logs

  • Remote Sensing and Terrain Mapping

    • Paired with GPS/IMU data, sensors enable accurate, geo-referenced aerial imagery
    • Custom-tuned cameras support photogrammetry, topographic surveys, and change detection
    • Multiband options for visible, NIR, and multispectral imaging workflows

Sensors Built for the Sky

Technical Requirements for Aerospace Imaging

Aerospace imaging systems are subject to constraints that go beyond camera performance. Power draw, signal integrity, electromagnetic resistance, and operating altitude all impact design. FRAMOS matches imaging technologies to each mission profile with careful system-level consideration.

Global and Rolling Shutter Options

  • Global shutter sensors resist motion artifacts during high-speed flyovers
  • Rolling shutter sensors provide reduced mass and power usage for stable platforms

Sensitivity and Noise Management

  • Low-noise performance enables clarity in low light, stratospheric, or planetary imaging
  • Long-exposure modes support use cases like astronomical tracking or slow passes

Compatible Interfaces for Flight Integration

  • Supports USB3, CoaXPress, CSI, or MIPI for pairing with onboard compute systems
  • Synchronizes with other payloads including LiDAR, radar, and GPS modules
