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, and search-and-rescue capability to platforms where size, weight, and endurance are uncompromising constraints.

Mission Profile

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.

Compact Size. Full Capability

12″-class performance in a 10″ footprint
Fleet commonality with the full PVLabs system family
Modular, field-upgradeable architecture
Designed to evolve with changing CONOPS

Primary Mission Profile

The PV1012 is optimized for missions where compact platforms demand uncompromised ISR capability:

Small UAS (Class 1) ISR and covert surveillance
Search & Rescue in complex terrain
Border security and maritime / coastal patrol
Public safety, infrastructure monitoring, and environmental threat detection
