pv1315
The PV1315 is engineered for the realities of modern ISR missions—where smaller aircraft and UAVs must deliver extended optical reach without sacrificing endurance, payload flexibility, or integration simplicity.
Optimized for covert surveillance, persistent ISR, and medium stand-off operations, the PV1315 scales performance and SWaP precisely to the mission while preserving a common interface across the PVLabs platform ecosystem.
It is purpose-built for environments where adaptability, survivability, and electromagnetic resilience and GPS-denied capability matter as much as raw imaging performance.
pv1315 15" Class Power - Any Mission
Delivers ISR capability typically requiring legacy 15″ systems—on smaller aircraft and UAVs without airframe modification or endurance penalty.
Performance Beyond its Class
Delivering true 15″-class performance in a compact 13″ SWaP envelope, the PV1315 enables higher-altitude ISR and multi-domain flexibility—without the costly airframe modifications imposed by legacy 15″ systems.
With a substantial weight advantage (~58 lbs vs ~95 lbs typical), the PV1315 preserves aircraft endurance while extending operational reach.
This is performance without platform penalty.
Precision Where it Matters Most
The PV1315 is tuned for missions where clarity, stability, and operator confidence define success:
-
Step-Stare Stability — LOS-axis control mitigates motion blur during sustained orbits at medium altitude
-
High-Accuracy Geolocation — integrated INS with higher-grade inertial sensors delivers precise target fixing
-
Reduced Operator Workload — INS-based steering modes simplify tracking of fixed and moving land or maritime targets
These capabilities combine to preserve long-range detection, recognition, and identification in evolving, operationally demanding flight profiles
FAST Platform Advantage
The PV1315 inherits the full stabilization performance of the FAST platform, balancing optical reach, endurance, and stability in the mid-size ISR class.
This allows operators to deploy higher-performance payloads in smaller turret sizes—without oversizing the aircraft or compromising mission flexibility.
FAST enables the PV1315 to sit cleanly between lightweight ISR and long-range systems, covering a wide operational envelope with a single architecture.
