pv1012
Despite its footprint, the PV1012 delivers true 12″-class performance with the same stabilization discipline, sensor clarity, and modular architecture as larger PVLabs systems—ensuring mission-critical imagery reaches decision-makers in real time.
Optimized for small UAS and light aircraft, the PV1012 brings high-grade ISR, targeting, close-range port/maritime surveillance and search & rescue capability to platforms where size, weight, and endurance are uncompromising constraints.
pv1012
12" Class Power. Compact ISR Performance
Small / Tactical Class. Delivers ISR performance traditionally associated with much larger turrets—on small UAS and light aircraft where size, weight, and endurance are tightly constrained.
Compact Precision
The PV1012 is the smallest member of the PVLabs airborne EO/IR multispectral family—purpose-built for Class 1 UAS and light aircraft where size and weight constraints demand a compact, high-performance solution.
It delivers stabilized, long-range imagery without the penalties traditionally associated with small-form-factor systems
Built for Situational Awareness
The PV1012 supports precise detection, tracking, and identification in close-in and dynamic flight profiles:
-
Step-stare stabilization with LOS-axis control to reduce motion blur
-
Integrated INS for accurate, stable target geolocation
-
Simultaneous raw image outputs for seamless mission-system integration
-
High-clarity imagery optimized for low-SWaP sensor payloads
FAST Platform Advantage
The PV1012 inherits the full stabilization performance of the FAST platform, delivering 6-DOF image stability in the demanding maneuvering environments of small UAS and light aircraft.
This enables long-range DORI performance unmatched in the 10–12″ class, even under high-dynamic flight conditions.
