FPV Drone Imaging for European Defense

The camera your operators need.
Built where it can be procured.

Vireon Technologies develops NATO-sovereign drone camera systems with dual-mode RGB and monochrome imaging, real-time AI-assisted detection, and a 380–1,100 nm spectral range — from full daylight to near-darkness, at expendable cost.

The Problem

The Performance Exists. The Sovereign Stack Does Not.

Your operators need an EU-sovereign vision stack — expendable-cost, operator-assisted, proven across real combat lighting and terrain — that can be deployed, iterated, and defended without dependency on external AI providers or foreign supply chains.

Capabilities

Designed for expendable FPV platforms

Small form factor, low weight, and a power envelope compatible with expendable airframes. Every design decision is made for drones that fly once.

Glass to display in under 5 ms

Global shutter eliminates rolling-shutter jello at speed. What the pilot sees is where the drone actually is.

Full spectral range. Two imaging modes.

RGB colour mode reaches 0.01 lux — usable in conditions with minimal ambient light. Monochrome mode covers the full 380–1,100 nm spectral range from visible to near-infrared, extending sensitivity well beyond what colour mode achieves. Both modes adapt continuously to near-darkness without saturating or requiring reconfiguration.

Objects of interest, highlighted in real time

People, vehicles, and animals identified and overlaid on the live feed. The operator confirms — the system does not decide.

Procurable by design

Every component sourced from EU or NATO-partner suppliers. No restricted-origin hardware. No ITAR complications. Unit cost compatible with expendable airframes.

Who This Is For

Built for European defense procurement

This system is designed for European UAV OEMs, national defense procurement offices, and system integrators building expendable drone platforms. If you are evaluating EO camera options for a drone program and require a sovereign supply chain, we want to hear from you.
