CRI’s LodeStar™ System is a flexible gimbal stabilization framework that can accommodate endless sensor payload configurations to meet customer requirements. From image capture to analysis and product generation, LodeStar™ makes gathering aerial data simple.
System Overview
CRI's LodeStar™ framework is the result of nearly two decades of CRI team expertise in stabilized gimbal system development, integration, and deployment. LodeStar is now available commercially as an end-to-end solution. While many systems require larger aircraft, LodeStar is comparable in size, weight, and power to smaller 15-inch sensory systems currently in use on many fixed wing, helicopter, UAS and aerostat platforms. The LodeStar system includes a sensor package of your choosing, an air capture/processing server, and a ground processing/dissemination system. LodeStar systems can be tailored for customer requirements. The low size, weight, and power of the LodeStar system enables a quickly deployable, cost-effective, high-quality capture solution.
