pv2030

The PV2030 delivers the reach, stability, and sensor capacity demanded by the most challenging airborne ISR missions—with the efficiency and flexibility of PVLabs’ modular design philosophy.

Engineered on the fifth-generation FAST platform, the PV2030 combines 30″-class sensor capability with a 20″-class SWaP envelope, using scalable, interchangeable modules to adapt performance to mission requirements.

It is purpose-built for larger, high-endurance aircraft operating across expansive mission areas and complex, multi-domain environments—where persistence, sensor coordination, and decision speed matter most.

Mission Profile

pv2030

Strategic reach. Mission endurance.

Delivers large-format ISR performance on high-endurance aircraft—without forcing platform-specific designs or single-mission lock-in.

Operational Edge

The PV2030 is built for strategic missions where persistence, range, and multi-sensor coordination are decisive:

Defense ISR & Targeting — extended stand-off surveillance, long-range identification, multi-domain cueing
Search & Rescue — wide-area scanning and positive identification over land or sea
Maritime Patrol & Surveillance — EEZ enforcement, interdiction, counter-smuggling
Border Security & Infrastructure Protection — persistent coverage for anomaly detection and asset defense
Strategic Surveillance & Special Missions — long-duration, high-altitude overwatch supporting national-level objectives

Multi-Mission Ready

The PV2030 delivers 30″-class performance in a 20″ SWaP envelope, with scalable modules that adapt to mission needs, lower ownership costs, and support rapid in-field upgrades.

Designed for larger, high-endurance fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, it extends operational reach across expansive mission areas and complex environments without platform redesign.

An independent NFOV IR spotter operates alongside the primary zoom sensor—enabling persistent wide-area coverage and detailed target interrogation at the same time.

FAST Platform Advantage

The PV2030’s range and stability performance are enabled by FAST—delivering 6-DOF active stabilization that preserves image clarity during high-altitude, long-endurance operations.

FAST allows the PV2030 to sustain precision across extended orbits and dynamic conditions while supporting rapid payload swaps and future upgrades—keeping the system relevant as sensors, networks, and CONOPS evolve.

Expanded Sensor Capability

The PV2030 delivers simultaneous wide-area awareness and precise target interrogation, pairing a long-range primary zoom sensor with an independent NFOV IR spotter.

Image clarity and target lock are maintained during extended, high-altitude orbits, preserving usable range and decision quality when it matters most. Integrated geolocation ensures confident cueing and handoff across mission systems—even as the aircraft maneuvers.

All of this is achieved without the size, weight, or integration burden of legacy large-format EO/IR systems, enabling greater endurance, flexibility, and operational value from every mission.

Primary Mission Fit

The PV2030 is optimized for strategic medium- to large-aircraft ISR operations, including:

Fixed-wing ISR platforms
Maritime / Border patrol aircraft
Heavy UAVs
Large Rotary-wing platforms requiring extended endurance and sensor capacity
