Integrated Multispectral, RGB, and Thermal Data Platform for Scalable Aerial Analytics

The Sentera 6X Thermal Pro Sensor Kit for Inspired Flight IF800 is designed as a unified data acquisition platform for organizations running repeatable aerial analytics workflows.

By combining four 3.2MP multispectral sensors, a 20MP RGB camera, and a 640 × 512 radiometric thermal imager into a single payload, it enables simultaneous capture of all required data layers in one pass.

From a systems perspective, the inclusion of a Smart Dovetail gimbal, incident light sensor, and calibrated reflectance panel supports standardized data collection across deployments.

With synchronized imaging, 512GB onboard storage, and NDAA compliant design, the platform allows teams to scale operations while maintaining consistency, compliance, and data integrity across projects.

• Calibration workflow included: Reflectance panel and light sensor ensure consistent data output.
• Open data architecture: Standard TIFF and JPEG formats support broad analytics compatibility.

Built for Repeatable and Scalable Data Acquisition

For organizations managing recurring survey missions, consistency across datasets is critical. The 6X Thermal Pro addresses this by capturing all data layers simultaneously, eliminating variability caused by multiple flights or sensor swaps.

With a ground sampling distance of 0.4 in (1.0 cm) RGB, 1.0 in (2.6 cm) multispectral, and 3.4 in (8.75 cm) thermal at 200 ft (60 m), it delivers predictable resolution across deployments.

Combined with onboard storage and calibrated inputs, it enables teams to standardize data collection processes and scale operations without compromising analytical reliability.
