Military-Grade Surveillance
for Sovereign Intelligence

Argus-VHR
Arugus-HR

Argus-VHR (0.3m Resolution)

(availability is subject to export permits of optical payload components)
Key Defense Features

Tactical-Grade Imagery

  • 0.5m PAN / 2m MS resolution (530km orbit) – ID vehicles, artillery, and small infrastructure
  • 12km swath width with pushbroom TDI for wide-area mapping of conflict zones

Battlefield-Ready Payload

  • CCD array with 11-bit quantization – Enhanced contrast for low-light/NIR surveillance
  • 700,000 km² daily coverage – Monitor entire border regions in <24hrs
  • 2TB onboard storage – Secure data retention during comms blackouts

Multi-Mode Targeting

  • Nadir/rolling/stereo imaging – Track moving convoys or missile launchers
  • DEM production – Terrain mapping for special ops infiltration planning
Defense Benefits
Precision Strike Support
Detect <1m targets for drone/UAV targeting
Denied-Area Intel
NIR spectrum (0.77–0.89µm) reveals camouflaged positions
Rapid Revisit
Sun-synchronous orbit (530km) enables 4+ passes/day over hotspots

Argus-HR (0.5m Resolution)

Key Defense Features

High-Speed Recon

  • 0.5m full-color / 1m MS resolution (500km orbit) – Identify weapon systems and troop movements
  • 15km swath – Balance detail and area coverage for tactical awareness

Low-Power Stealth

  • 305W operation – Reduced thermal signature vs. competitors
  • 40dB SNR – Clear imaging through dust/smoke (e.g., wildfire camouflage)

All-Weather Capability

  • 450–900nm spectrum – Day/night ops with NIR penetration
  • <7% radiometric error – Reliable change detection for base monitoring
Defense Benefits
Precision Strike Support
Detect <1m targets for drone/UAV targeting
