Edge Autonomys’ division Octopus ISR Systems develops and produces leading optronic surveillance systems for use on all kinds of manned and unmanned systems. Our systems excel in performance by offering unmatched capabilities in the smallest possible size and weight of the payload.
By having a production and development facility for our gimbals in the European Union and the United States, we have the ability to avoid the entanglement of typical export control regulation.  This allows us to deliver solutions rapidly, without the years-long review process.
We equip our systems with super rugged designs comprised of an advanced magnesium structure assembled in an protected fully sealed, dry gas environment to ensure that the system works when and where you need it to.
All of our high performance long-range gimbals today have an onboard video processor. Thanks to this processor, we can provide key benefits to the end-user including:
Stabilization of the video
Transmission through a video link
Object tracking
Data enhancement – overlays, digital zoom, or recording.
Ensuring a stabilized picture is crucial to providing data to end users. Our systems come pre-installed with software stabilization and roll correction. This allows them to provide imagery normally reserved for much larger, more expensive gimbals requiring a larger and more expensive aircraft.
