Cutting-Edge Visible & Thermal Imaging Camera Gimbal Payloads for Mission-Critical Applications

Trillium Engineering is a leading developer of camera gimbal payloads specifically designed to meet the requirements of Group 1, 2 and 3 UAS (unmanned aerial systems), as well as manned aircraft and military ground vehicles. Delivering ultra-stable and high-resolution imagery, our gimbals are ideal for demanding ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), target tracking, and weapons guidance applications.

Our cutting-edge visible and infrared imaging technologies have been incorporated into a variety of leading tactical drone platforms, including the Textron Systems Aerosonde in service with the U.S. Army, the Quantum-Systems Vector and the Martin UAV V-BAT. Our HD80 gimbal has also been integrated into both finalists for the U.S. Army Future Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (FTUAS) program.

Our gimbals are specifically designed to provide maximum performance in the lowest possible SWaP (size, weight and power) footprint, leaving room in the resource budget for other payloads and systems.

All Trillium gimbals feature powerful onboard video processing capabilities for immediate actionable intelligence, including high-definition object tracking, image stabilization, and H.264 or H.265 encoding. We have also integrated SightX’s real-time edge AI engine, enabling high-precision target detection, tracking and classification day or night without a human in the loop.
