2x low light EO + IR, 320p thermal

The Vantage Robotics Vesper is a professional-grade micro ISR quadcopter built for public safety and industrialteams that need reliable aerial intelligence in demanding conditions. Vesper pairs dual 4K low-light EO cameras with an integrated thermal sensor on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal, delivering actionable overwatch for incident response, perimeter checks, critical infrastructure inspections, and low-light operations.

Designed for fast field use, Vesper deploys in under 90 seconds, supports GPS-denied flight (via VIO/optical flow), and offers up to 50 minutes of endurance with the Recon rotor set (or 32 minutes with the shrouded set for operations near people / indoors).

Security and compliance are core: Vesper uses AES-256 encryption, is NDAA & TAA compliant, and is designed so there is no remote data transmission.
