Commercial and Personal Use

The M2-D can be used for agriculture, commercial remote sensing, traffic monitoring, private investigations, CCTV monitoring, sporting events, and even hog hunting. 

That’s right! Hog hunters use our infrared cameras to hunt down hogs in the dark. 

Anyone can purchase the M2-D for personal or commercial use. Contact us if you have a question about potential use cases. 

Military Use

Military unmanned vehicles rely heavily on electro-optical infrared sensor payloads to perform their missions. 

What is an EO IR sensor? It is a sensor that detects light across many different spectrums and gives sight to unmanned vehicles. The sensors help them avoid obstacles, detect movement, find the enemy or target, and navigate an unknown terrain effectively. 

There is an increasing need to keep up with the innovation and advancements in the unmanned vehicle industry. The sensor payloads need to meet the technology requirements of the drones, and SPI is working to remain at the forefront of this industry. 

SWaP is a concern in many of the industries that use unmanned systems. SWaP stands for size, weight, and power consumption, and the M2-D is an ideal balance of these. Reducing size and weight has been a focus of ours as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) become the focus for the military and commercial companies. 

The M2D Family of ultra lightweight, ultra micro compact EO/IR payloads are hand built and developed to meet reliable, high performance demanding Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting/Tracking (IRST) mission applications.

The Long Range, high altitude, high speed capable Precision, Rugged/High Shock, rock steady multi stage, multi axis Gyro Stabilized platform along with Top of the line advanced solid state EO/IR sensors, optics & real time advanced processing make the M2D gimbal ideal for applications such as:

Military, ISR, IRST, Situational awareness, search and rescue, special operations, force protection, maritime, law enforcement, military, over the hill recon, specialty operations & multiple aerial critical missions mounted on FIXED WING, ROTARY WING, SUAV, SUAS, UGV, USV, VTOL, UAV, AEROSTAT, DRONES, BLIMPS, ROBOTICS & a wide array of MANNED AND UNMANNED PLATFORMS

Law Enforcement and Border Patrol Use

Law enforcement officers have been using the M2-D for over two decades to control borders, survey land, and other uses. Thermal imaging and a 13.6x zoom makes it an ideal camera for law enforcement and bounty use. 

Put simply, a growing number of people need unmanned vehicles that are small, inexpensive, and reliable, and they need EO sensor payloads to match. We believe the M2-D is the ideal solution for personal, industrial, military, and law enforcement uses. 

Unmanned Vehicles

The M2-D can be used with drones, quadcopters, hexacopters, multicopters, fixed wing and rotary, unmanned copters, drones, UAV, UGV, SuAS, balloons, aerostat, unmanned robots, and all remote vehicles. 

The M2-D can be attached to most commercial drones and UAVs. It can be easily configured for side mounting, ball up or ball down mounting preferences. Contact us if you have questions about compatibility.
