RPX Technologies, Inc. Revolutionizes UAV Thermal Imaging with Groundbreaking EmbIRâ„¢ UAV-6407/17/2024 RPX Technologies, Inc. proudly announces the launch of the EmbIR UAV-640, a thermal imaging solution that redefines Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) efficiency. This state-of-the-art thermal camera, with its ultra-compact design measuring approximately 20 mm and weighing a mere 6.9 grams, delivers impressive performance in a lightweight package.
At the heart of the EmbIR UAV-640 is RPX Technologies’ proprietary LightWeaver™ shutterless thermal camera core. This advanced technology enables the camera to produce high-fidelity 640x480 thermal images, crucial for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition operations. The EmbIR UAV-640 sets a new benchmark in the industry, offering superior thermal imaging with minimal SWaP, making it an ideal payload for modern UAV applications. “Innovation lies at the heart of RPX Technologies, and the EmbIR UAV-640 exemplifies our commitment to pushing the boundaries of technological advancement,” said Levi Valdois, Director of Sales and Marketing at RPX Technologies. “This groundbreaking thermal camera not only meets but also exceeds the evolving needs of the UAV industry, offering unmatched performance and reliability, and answers the need for domestically manufactured payload technology.” In addition to its technological superiority, the EmbIR UAV-640 is manufactured in the USA and compliant with the Blue UAS Framework, ensuring freedom from components sourced from restricted or primarily foreign manufacturers. Custom configurations are available, allowing the EmbIR UAV-640 to be tailored to specific operational requirements. As the demand for advanced thermal imaging solutions continues to soar, RPX Technologies remains dedicated to providing cutting-edge products that empower UAV operators worldwide. The EmbIR UAV-640 is now available for purchase, and interested parties can visit rpxtech.com/uav-thermal-cameras for more information and specifications.

Approvals required for other uses. In the space of a few years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones have gone from being in the domain of the military or hobbyists to mainstream. An article in Business Insider shares data from a PwC report predicting that drones could replace billions of dollars of human labor, as the chart from this article shows: As the chart illustrates, drones are projected to have the biggest commercial impact in the infrastructure and agriculture sectors. For example, human inspections of wind turbines are costly and potentially dangerous. SkySpecs, a startup company deploys drones to conduct safe, automated inspections at about half the cost of human inspections.
The RPX Technologies team recently participated in the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Xponential exhibition, where the interest in dynamic balancing and vibration analysis for drones was high. It’s easy to understand the reason why: The commercial use of UAVs almost always involves high quality, high-resolution video or photography, and vibration impairs this application. Furthermore, sustained vibration can lead to failure of airframes, instruments and engines in just the same way it does in sport, general and commercial aviation aircraft. Commercial drone operators are discovering that DynaVibe helps ensure they are delivering the highest quality services to their clients, while also keeping their fleets at maximum readiness. DynaVibe is a dynamic propeller balancing and vibration analyzing system. Simple to use, it allows UAV owners and operators to quickly measure and resolve propeller vibration. While vibration dampening mounts and gimbals can help minimize the effects of vibration, the best approach is to eliminate it altogether. Eliminating vibration is of particular importance with UAVs, because these lighter structure aircraft are more prone to shake from vibration than are larger, heavier aircraft. The DynaVibe GX2 also allows users to conduct full-spectrum vibration surveys to identify and resolve vibration from sources other than the propeller. The benefit of dynamically balancing and analyzing the vibration of drones is the smoothest, quietest flight to enable maximum resolution of photography, and highest possible uptime of all flight systems.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones as they are commonly known, are subject to the same vibration issues as other propeller-driven aircraft. An unbalanced prop assembly can create vibrations that damage the engine, airframe instruments and interfere with the mission. Excessive vibration can interfere with the mission of a UAV, particularly those used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and aerial filming or photography. Vibration can distort the image. Vibration dampening camera mounts and gimbals are commonly used in UAVs to deal with this problem, but the ideal solution is to eliminate the source of the vibration. Balancing the propeller assembly with DynaVibe easily does this, and the DynaVibe Classic provides an affordable solution for UAV operators who need to the highest possible image quality.
