Unified Multisensor Payload Integration for Scalable Aerial Data Programs

The Inspired Flight MicaSense Altum-PT and Integration Kit Bundle delivers a fully integrated payload solution designed for organizations deploying multisensor aerial data workflows at scale.

Combining the Altum-PT’s synchronized multispectral, thermal, and panchromatic imaging with Inspired Flight’s Smart Dovetail integration system, this bundle enables streamlined deployment across NDAA-compliant IF platforms. It is built for teams that require consistent data outputs, efficient field operations, and reliable system interoperability.

With the included Integration Kit, deployment becomes a standardized process. The Smart Dovetail interface consolidates power, data, and triggering into a single connection point, eliminating manual wiring and reducing variability between deployments.

This allows teams to maintain consistent sensor alignment and performance across multiple aircraft and missions, supporting repeatable data acquisition strategies across large operational environments.

Key Features and Benefits

• Multi-sensor imaging: captures 5 multispectral, 1 thermal, 1 panchromatic channels simultaneously
• Panchromatic sharpening: achieves 2.49 cm/pixel resolution at 120 m flight altitude
• Radiometric thermal sensor: measures ±5 K accuracy with <60 mK sensitivity
• Five-band multispectral: covers 475–842 nm spectral range for vegetation analysis
• Smart dovetail interface: enables synchronized power, data, and trigger integration
• Toolless mounting system: supports standardized deployment across multiple aircraft systems
• DLS 2 integration: captures real-time irradiance and sun angle for corrections
• High capture rate: supports up to 2 captures per second mapping workflows
• CFexpress storage: supports high-speed write performance for large dataset acquisition
• API compatibility: supports MAVLink, HTTP, and GPIO trigger-based automation workflows

Standardized Payload Integration for Repeatable Fleet Operations

The Altum-PT and Integration Kit Bundle is designed to support structured deployment across enterprise fleets. The Smart Dovetail interface ensures consistent mechanical and electrical integration, reducing setup variability and minimizing operator error. With synchronized capture across all sensor channels and support for automated triggering via MAVLink or API control, the system integrates into mission planning and data pipelines with minimal friction. Radiometric correction using the DLS 2 maintains data consistency across changing environmental conditions, enabling reliable longitudinal analysis and scalable data collection programs.
