Thermal 10-inch FPV platform
Vardiron 10-T
The Vardiron 10-T is the thermal-imaging 10-inch platform for night operations and low-visibility conditions including smoke, fog and dust.
Same reliability and handling class as the 10-B, with an integrated thermal-imaging module for day-and-night detection.
Detailed overview
Mission role
Choose 10-T when visual cameras are insufficient: complete darkness, smoke, fog, dust or other low-visibility environments. High-sensitivity thermal imaging supports target detection at extended ranges while retaining the modular radio/video architecture of the 10-inch family.
Imaging capability
The integrated thermal-imaging module is specified for effective operation in any lighting conditions. Catalogue positioning emphasises night vision, smoke/fog penetration, long-range detection and high sensitivity.
Shared platform DNA
Payload class, dual-channel link architecture, flight-time and speed envelope align with the 10-B baseline so units can be mixed in fleets with predictable logistics.
Key capabilities
- Thermal-imaging camera for darkness, smoke, fog and dust
- Up to 4 kg payload; up to 25 min flight time
- 40 km control and video range class
- Up to 30 km / 20 km with 1 kg / 2.5 kg warhead respectively
- Operating altitude up to 1,000 m
Engineering advantages
Night vision
Effective operation in complete darkness.
Smoke and fog penetration
Reliable detection in challenging atmospheric conditions.
Long-range detection
Target detection at extended ranges versus unaided visual sensors.
High sensitivity
Clear thermal image detail across operating environments.
Shared 10-inch architecture
Retains dual-channel communications, payload class and modular configuration approach of the 10-B family.
Variants & configurations
| Variant | Focus | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vardiron 10-T | Thermal baseline | Thermal module on 10-inch platform |

How it fits the Vardiron ecosystem
- Use with the Integrated Control System and optional airborne relay for beyond-line-of-sight terrain.
- Daylight-optimised twin: Vardiron 10-B.
- Need longer legs at night: Vardiron 10-T PRO / 10 PRO family.

FAQ
When should I pick 10-T over 10-B?
When missions require thermal detection in darkness, smoke, fog or dust rather than a day/night visual camera alone.
Does 10-T keep the same payload class?
Yes. Catalogue figures list up to 4 kg payload with the same broad range/speed class as 10-B.
