pvLABS FAST Technology
Six Degree of Freedom Stabilization. ​
​
FAST combines three-axis rotational stabilization with three-axis linear active isolation to achieve full 6DOF that delivers class-defining stability and SWaP-C performance.
​
By eliminating previous-generation inner-gimbal constraints found in the majority of systems flying now, FAST enables greater usable payload volume, significantly less weight, higher image quality, and superior performance across a wide range of system sizes.
​
Performance that scales without redesign.
​
Optimized for SWaP²-C, FAST delivers measurable advantages in precision, range performance, efficiency, and mission value—without increasing system mass or integration burden.
​
As missions evolve, PVLABS' FAST technology evolves with them.
