ROOK & ECHO
Wide-area 10K perception sensors
Two sensors, one integration. Both are built on the same 10K architecture — 100 MP global-shutter capture, RGB or monochrome — and present the same interfaces to your platform. Qualify the system once, then choose the optics strategy per airframe and mission.
One architecture, two sensors
Built on a Shared 10K Core
ROOK and ECHO run the same sensor architecture, calibration and output. These capabilities are common to both — the choice between them is an optics and packaging decision, not a re-integration.
- Shared 10K coreIdentical core, calibration and output across ROOK and ECHO — qualify the system once, then choose the optics.
- 100 MP full-frame sensorLarge-format CMOS capturing the full 10K frame (10,000 × 10,000 px) on 2.74 µm pixels — every pixel usable at detection resolution. RGB or monochrome, 400–950 nm (visible + near-infrared).
- Electronic global shutterEvery pixel exposed at once for geometrically consistent frames from a moving platform — with no mechanical shutter to wear or fail. Exposure to 1/16,000 s (operational max 1/6,000 s).
- Open outputs & georeferencingUp to 30 fps liveview, H.264 / H.265 video and JPG or DNG stills; GNSS + IMU georeferencing on every frame; USB-C external storage.
- PCI Express data pathHigh-bandwidth PCIe transfer moves the full 10K frame off the sensor without bottlenecks.
- NDAA · ITAR-free · EU origin · MOSAFully trusted, allied supply chain — ready for defence procurement.

ROOK · Release Sep ’26
Optimised for Performance
Sealed, SWaP-optimised, purpose-built aerial optics
ROOK houses the same 10K core behind fixed, purpose-built aerial optics in an environmentally sealed body — the lowest size and weight in the family. With no interchangeable parts to seal or service, it is built for constrained platforms operating in hostile conditions.
- 10,000 × 10,000 px, RGB or monochrome
- 2.74 µm pixels, 400–950 nm
- 60 mm integrated optic
- 26° field of view, motorized autofocus
- Metrically calibrated
- Sensor and optic calibrated together as one unit, so every pixel maps to a known ray and ground resolution is known per pixel
- Sealed where it matters
- The exposed optic — the only part outside the airframe — is IP67-sealed against dust, moisture and vibration
- 350 g complete with optic
- 119.3 × 65 × 70 mm · 510 g complete system with FORGE — lowest SWaP in the family
- 30 W typical / 65 W peak
- 11–20 V (3S/4S); −10 to +40 °C operating

Optimised for Flexibility
Field-interchangeable commercial off-the-shelf optics
ECHO puts the 10K core behind a Canon RF mount, so one sensor follows the mission: wide-area survey with a short lens, long-range standoff with a long one, swapped in the field in minutes. The same ECHO covers the full spread of mission profiles — the optics do the specialising, so the airframe, wiring and integration never change.
- Field-interchangeable optics
- Canon RF mount, COTS lenses from 24 mm to 300 mm — swapped in the field in minutes
- One core, many missions
- Wide-area survey to long-range standoff without changing airframe, wiring or integration
- Metrically calibrated
- Calibrated per optic, so every pixel maps to a known ray and ground resolution is known per pixel
- 380 g · 60 × 60 × 65 mm
- Excluding lens — 540 g as a complete system with FORGE
- 30 W typical / 65 W peak
- 11–20 V (3S/4S); −10 to +40 °C operating

The rule of thumb: ROOK for sealed, fixed-optic, SWaP-constrained platforms operating in hostile conditions. ECHO where field-swappable optics and re-roling between missions matter.
