Power to Move Societal Infrastructure Forward
We have created the "eyes" that bring the sky closer and redefine open-air as a pathway rather than a void. We want to deliver this to all the people who build and maintain our societal infrastructure to create a better future, with the hope that they will be able to simultaneously achieve economic growth and increased job satisfaction. The drone is a partner that brings safety and efficiency to your work, giving you time to enjoy the improved future that you create. Our drones have been optimized by combining all kinds of home-grown technologies including control algorithms, airframe, communication system, camera, propellers, and data security, all designed and made in Japan. We are proud to be society's new partner.

Protected by made-in-Japan secure drone technology
Security measures based on ISO15408 are applied to prevent data leakage and extraction and to provide resistance to hijacking.

Major parts of the aircraft are either domestically produced or procured from highly reliable overseas sources. Security is enhanced with encrypted communications. Acquired data can optionally be encrypted and managed in the Japanese cloud.

One-touch swappable camera
ACSL SOTEN employs a swappable camera system, a first for a small aerial photography drone, enabling a wide array of camera options.

ACSL SOTEN employs a swappable camera The standard camera can be hot-swapped with an EO/IR combination camera, a multispectral camera, and an optical zoom camera.

Extensive scalability, including closed network LTE communication and offline maps
With the use of LTE communications, SOTEN can be controlled over the internet, enabling autonomous beyond-visual-line-of-sight (level-3) operations in remote areas such as mountainous terrain and inside industrial plants.

The use of offline maps allows the ground control software application to display maps and manage autonomous flight, even in environments where internet access is not available.

An adapter for mounting the camera on the top of the drone, enabling the inspection of infrastructure from below, is currently under development.

A drone with flight performance that is more than sufficient for real-world operations
With a maximum airspeed of 15 m/s, SOTEN is capable of safe flight in severe conditions, such as natural disasters.

SOTEN is also equipped with SLAS/SBAS (sub-meter positioning augmentation from the Michibiki quasi-zenith satellite system), which can provide more accurate positioning information in Japan, enabling safer takeoff and landing in situations where accurate positioning information is required, such as disaster response.

- Standard Remote Controller -
The ACSL SOTEN Standard Controller offers seamless, precise control for the ACSL SOTEN drone, making it ideal for a range of applications, from park surveys to urgent emergency response. Designed with AES 256-bit encryption, it ensures the security of mission-critical data and communication, while the IP43-rated build provides durability against dust and splashes, making it perfect for outdoor use in challenging environments.

With its responsive flight control and intuitive user interface, operators can execute complex tasks with ease, enhancing operational efficiency. Crafted in Japan, this controller is engineered for reliable performance, offering consistent results whether for routine inspections or disaster response, ensuring mission success in any scenario.


- Standard Gimbal Camera -
Purpose-built for aerial imaging, the CX-GB100 integrates a high-resolution camera with a 3-axis gimbal system to deliver smooth, stable footage even in dynamic flight conditions.
