SIRAS
Affordable, easy to fly UAV
Professional Drone With Thermal and Visible Camera Payload
SIRAS is an affordable, easy-to-fly, IP54-rated professional drone with an interchangeable payload system for industrial and utilities inspection, firefighting, law enforcement, and search and rescue missions. With front collision avoidance, hot-swappable batteries, a 31-minute flight time, and no restrictive geofencing, professional UAV pilots can fly safely when and where the mission demands.
Two quick-connect payloads options are available. The Vue® TV128 includes a 128x-zoom, 16 MP visible camera and a 5x-zoom, 640×512 resolution radiometric FLIR Boson® thermal camera providing standoff temperature measurement. The Vue TV128+ includes a 128x-zoom, 16 MP visible camera paired with a Boson+, featuring an industry-leading thermal sensitivity for increased contrast and clarity. Both Vue payloads offer Teledyne FLIR’s patented MSX® to further improve thermal imagery and improve situational awareness.
Designed for data security, SIRAS stores imagery on an onboard microSD card and does not include cloud connection capability. Pilots are not required to create an online profile, increasing ease of use, and reducing potential unintended online data access. SIRAS provides best-in-class thermal imagery, mission flexibility, and secure data, enabling the pros to get the job done.
Sales of the SIRAS drone from Teledyne FLIR will discontinue effective August 31, 2025, as part of a strategic shift to focus on next-generation infrared imaging and decision support software. While sales are ending, we remain committed to supporting existing SIRAS resellers and customers through September 30, 2027, with continued service, parts availability, and technical assistance.
