Mission-ready data, everywhere. That’s our north star, and it’s what drives every integration we build at Censys Technologies.

 

With every payload we add to the Sentaero family, we’re creating new ways to give customers the intelligent, mission-ready data they need to turn aerial sensing into decision-grade insight.

 

Expanding the Boundaries of Persistent Observation

Today we’re adding another next-level payload to the Sentaero 6 ecosystem, extending the range of what’s possible with persistent aerial observation and long-range BVLOS missions.

 

Meet the NextVision Raptor 360 Dual EO/IR Gimbal Payload. When coupled with the NDAA compliant Sentaero 6 platform, this high-performance gimbal system combines the aircraft’s endurance and autonomy with the Raptor 360’s state-of-the-art optical performance and full 360° situational awareness.

 

The result is a new class of awareness and reliability for mission-critical customers across the energy, defense, and public safety sectors.

 

Continuous 360° Coverage. Zero Blind Spots.

Compact, mission-endurance ready, and engineered for persistent coverage, the Raptor 360 represents the latest generation of stabilized airborne live feed video technology.

 

With continuous roll rotation and infinite yaw, it delivers full 360° coverage from all angles, day or night.

 

An 80× EO zoom (40× optical + 2× digital) and 8× digital infrared zoom allows operators to seamlessly transition between wide-area scans and high-resolution target identification, maintaining clarity across long-endurance missions. Powered by a 1280×720 HD thermal sensor, it delivers crystal-clear imagery both day and night.

 

Built to Last. Made for the Real World.

Engineered for real-world performance, the Raptor 360 brings rugged resilience to match its optical finesse.

 

Available in an IP54-rated sealed configuration, the Raptor 360-Sealed model provides all-weather protection from dust, rain, and harsh environments without sacrificing the system’s advanced stabilization or gimbal freedom.

 

From infrastructure corridor monitoring to prolonged ISR patrols, the Raptor 360 is ready to deliver consistent, high-fidelity video from one deployment to the next.

 

Precision, Power, and Performance in Every Frame

Precision, power, and performance. It’s all in every frame with the Raptor 360. From tracking thermal anomalies to identifying moving objects across complex terrain, the system translates high-resolution imagery into high-confidence intelligence that mission operators can act on.

 

With its 80× EO zoom, users can detect and analyze the smallest features with razor-sharp detail, then switch to thermal mode to capture heat signatures invisible to the human eye.

 

This dual-modality capability provides a more complete operational picture, enabling faster, safer decision-making, shorter response times, and reduced uncertainty in time-sensitive missions.

 

The Power to See, Discover, and Respond Across Any Terrain

 

Censys is focused on helping customers see more, discover more, and respond faster across any environment.

 

The Raptor 360 expands the Sentaero 6 ecosystem with dual-modality capabilities designed for a broad range of mission profiles:

• Utilities & Energy: Detect heat anomalies, vegetation management, event triggered response and security patrols.
• Public Safety & Emergency Response: Gain 24/7 visibility for search and rescue, post-disaster assessments, and other time-critical missions.
• Defense & National Security Operations: Deliver long-range ISR capability and defense-grade situational awareness to support government and security missions in complex terrain.
• Infrastructure & Transportation: real-time situational awareness, tracking objects/hazards, and overwatch for construction crews

 

In every case, the Raptor 360 transforms aerial surveillance from reactive awareness to proactive operational intelligence, enhancing the reach, responsiveness, and reliability of every mission.

 

Plug-and-Play Integration with the Sentaero 6 Platform

Modular versatility is built into the Sentaero 6 from the ground up. The Raptor 360 integrates seamlessly via the aircraft’s universal payload interface. This enables operators to swap from any payload to the Raptor 360 EO/IR gimbal in minutes.

 

This versatility enables a single aircraft to handle diverse mission profiles, from mapping and inspection to reconnaissance and ISR.

 

When paired with the Censys EdgeDock™ system, the Raptor 360 also unlocks autonomous dock-to-dock operation. Additionally, it allows the aircraft to automatically launch, recover, charge, and process sensor data at the edge.

 

This interoperability cements the Sentaero 6 + EdgeDock™ architecture as the most scalable and mission-ready VTOL UAS in its class, trusted for both commercial and government-grade operations.

 

Setting a New Standard for Persistent Aerial Intelligence

The integration of the Raptor 360 within the Sentaero 6 + EdgeDock™ architecture marks another milestone. Censys’s mission is to build a persistent, connected network of autonomous aircraft powering safer, smarter decisions.

 

By uniting high-endurance autonomy with continuous 360° optical coverage and real-time information, this new payload enables a new class of persistent BVLOS operations.

 

Whether it’s keeping the grid safe, protecting communities, or supporting critical defense missions, the Sentaero 6 + Raptor 360 combination gives operators the situational awareness they’ve never had before, and above all, with range, intelligence, and scale that mission-level total awareness demands.
