High-Resolution RGB Mapping Payload
Sentera 65R Sensor Payload for Inspired Flight IF800 & IF1200
The Sentera 65R gives government drone teams a powerful 65-megapixel global shutter RGB imaging payload for mapping, documentation, assessment, inspection, and operational planning. When paired with the Inspired Flight IF800 Tomcat or IF1200, the 65R delivers the detail, speed, and repeatability needed for public safety, defense, GIS, emergency management, county assessment, and search and rescue missions.
Big Detail for Big Decisions
The Sentera 65R captures extremely detailed RGB imagery for orthomosaics, mapping, scene documentation, infrastructure inspection, damage assessment, site modeling, and mission planning. For agencies that need to see more without flying endless passes, the 65R helps gather actionable visual data quickly and efficiently.
Global Shutter Advantage
Global shutter capture helps reduce motion distortion and image skew during drone flight. That matters when mapping roads, runways, utility corridors, public facilities, search areas, crime scenes, disaster zones, and other environments where clean geometry and usable detail are essential.
Built for Inspired Flight
Configured for the Inspired Flight IF800 and IF1200, the 65R gives agencies a professional, NDAA-compliant payload option for high-resolution mapping and documentation workflows. It is an excellent match for organizations standardizing around American-made drone platforms.
Mission-Focused Applications
Purpose-Built Value for Government Drone Users
Law Enforcement
For law enforcement UAS teams, the 65R supports specialized intelligence, operational planning, and post-incident documentation. Agencies can map large outdoor scenes, document search areas, support tactical planning, capture overwatch-quality site imagery, and create visual records that help commanders, investigators, and prosecutors understand the layout of a location.
- Crime scene and major incident mapping
- Pre-operation site awareness and approach planning
- Traffic crash and roadway scene documentation
- Large outdoor venue and public event mapping
GIS & Public Works Teams
GIS departments can use the 65R to capture high-resolution RGB data for orthomosaics, asset mapping, planimetric updates, infrastructure documentation, and project basemaps. Its high pixel count and fast capture rate help teams cover more ground while retaining the detail needed for confident analysis.
- High-resolution orthomosaic generation
- Road, bridge, drainage, and utility corridor mapping
- Capital project documentation
- Municipal asset inventory support
Defense & Homeland Security
For defense, base security, emergency operations, and homeland security users, the 65R provides high-detail visible imagery for installation mapping, training area documentation, perimeter assessments, infrastructure review, and mission rehearsal products. The NDAA-compliant payload and Inspired Flight compatibility make it well suited for agencies with strict procurement requirements.
- Facility and installation mapping
- Critical infrastructure assessment
- Training site documentation
- Operational planning imagery
County Assessors
County assessors and appraisal districts can use the 65R to collect detailed aerial imagery for property review, land use documentation, construction progress, parcel validation, and field assessment support. It helps teams reduce windshield time while improving the visual record available for review.
- Parcel and improvement documentation
- Construction and development review
- Large property and agricultural land assessment
- High-detail imagery for office-side review
Search & Rescue
Search and rescue teams can use the 65R to document wide search areas, generate updated maps, support grid planning, and capture detailed imagery of terrain, trails, shorelines, fields, structures, and debris zones. While thermal and EO/IR payloads are often the first choice for active detection, the 65R is a strong tool for mapping, planning, documentation, and after-action analysis.
- Search area mapping and grid documentation
- Terrain and access route review
- Disaster debris and flood zone documentation
- After-action mapping and reporting
Emergency Management
Emergency managers can deploy the 65R for high-resolution documentation before, during, and after incidents. From storm damage and flooding to public infrastructure impact assessments, the payload supports rapid situational awareness and defensible visual records for recovery planning, briefings, and reimbursement documentation.
- Storm, flood, tornado, and fire damage documentation
- Infrastructure impact assessment
- Public safety briefing products
- Recovery planning and documentation support
Why It Matters
High-Resolution Mapping Without Slowing the Mission
The 65R combines high resolution, fast image capture, stabilized integration, live video, internal storage, and time-of-capture geotagging to streamline drone mapping missions. For agencies with limited flight windows, limited staffing, or urgent operational needs, this means more usable imagery with fewer compromises.
Key Advantages
- 65MP RGB capture for detailed visual mapping and inspection.
- Global shutter imaging helps reduce motion distortion and skew.
- 3 FPS capture rate supports efficient flight patterns and large-area coverage.
- Live video helps operators verify framing and mission progress in real time.
- 512GB internal SSD provides onboard storage for high-volume missions.
- Open data workflows support use with major photogrammetry and image processing platforms.
Lens Options
Choose Coverage or Detail Based on the Mission
27mm Lens
The 27mm lens provides a wider field of view for broad coverage missions. It is a strong choice for public works mapping, large incident scenes, parcels, campuses, disaster zones, roads, construction areas, and other missions where the goal is to cover more ground efficiently.
- 58° horizontal field of view
- GSD @ 200 ft: approximately 0.28 in / 0.7 cm
- GSD @ 400 ft: approximately 0.55 in / 1.4 cm
60mm Lens
The 60mm lens provides a narrower field of view with finer ground sample distance. It is well suited for higher-detail inspection, infrastructure review, precision documentation, and cases where operators need additional detail from a safe or practical standoff distance.
- 27° horizontal field of view
- GSD @ 200 ft: approximately 0.12 in / 0.3 cm
- GSD @ 400 ft: approximately 0.25 in / 0.6 cm
Platform Integration
An Excellent Payload Match for the IF800 and IF1200
The Sentera 65R is designed to integrate with the Inspired Flight IF800 Tomcat and IF1200 using compatible payload mounting interfaces. For agencies building an American-made drone program, this combination creates a practical high-resolution mapping package with a clear path for procurement, training, support, and repeatable mission workflows.
Inspired Flight IF800 Tomcat
A strong fit for agencies that want a capable medium-lift UAS with professional payload flexibility. Pairing the IF800 with the 65R creates a practical mapping and documentation solution for public safety, GIS, and infrastructure missions.
