TAITEN, upgrades to its advanced SAMO thermal camera payload for the SOTEN drone, and official collaboration with Teledyne FLIR's Thermal by FLIR Program. These announcements represent a significant step forward in ACSL's mission to deliver powerful, secure, and flexible drone solutions for public safety and industrial inspection.

TAITEN, ACSL's all-new NDAA-compliant smart controller, is purpose-built for real-world operations. It features a high-resolution 7" built-in display with 1500 nits of brightness and a rugged, IP54-rated weather-resistant design. Additional highlights include HDMI output, customizable function buttons, and full compatibility with the SOTEN small UAS. Designed from the ground up with field operators in mind, TAITEN offers exceptional clarity, durability, and control. The new controller will be available in September through ACSL's nationwide network of dealers .

ACSL's entry into the Thermal by FLIR Program marks a major milestone in the company's ongoing expansion into the US market. The program, developed by Teledyne FLIR OEM, supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with seamless integration of thermal camera modules and provides joint go-to-market support for new technologies. Both companies are collaborating on next-generation solutions that integrate ACSL's drones with FLIR's latest thermal modules and Prism ISP technology.

SAMO, shipping now, is a swappable, NDAA-compliant thermal payload compatible with the ACSL SOTEN drone. It features an integrated International Traffic in Arms (ITAR)-free dual thermal-visible Teledyne FLIR OEM Hadron 640R camera module, which combines a 64MP visible camera with the 640 x512 Boson radiometric thermal camera module. Recent upgrades include a new 20X zoom functionality, and as part of the FLIR collaboration, SAMO will gain MSX (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) compatibility by year's end. MSX technology combines sharp edge detail from the visible camera with thermal imagery for enhanced context and operational insight.
