News Summary
Nedinsco has launched NedEye, a fully European-designed airborne gimbal for tactical ISR missions aimed at medium-weight drones. Built for fixed-wing and rotary platforms in the 2–150 kg class, NedEye combines advanced optical and digital continuous zoom, mechanical and software image stabilisation, night-vision sensors and onboard AI for automated detection and tracking. The lightweight, rugged unit emphasises supply chain security and open software interfaces for integrators and OEMs. Positioned for border security, search and rescue and target identification, the system is available for demonstrations and integration talks with defence and security organisations.
Nedinsco launches NedEye — a fully European gimbal for tactical ISR drones
A new European-made airborne imaging system designed for tactical surveillance missions has been launched. On 8 September, Nedinsco announced the NedEye gimbal, aimed at medium-weight tactical drones and built entirely within Europe to support Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations, border security and target identification.
Top-line: what NedEye delivers
The system pairs high optical capability with a lightweight, rugged frame and is intended for both fixed-wing and rotary platforms in the 2–150 kg class. It offers continuous zoom across optical and digital ranges, strong image stabilisation, and full day-and-night readiness, including night vision and on-board AI tools for automated detection and tracking.
Key capabilities and technical highlights
NedEye is positioned as a secure, interoperable payload with a focus on supply chain control and standards compliance. Major features include:
- Made in Europe: development, manufacture and assembly are claimed to be fully European to support supply chain security and standards alignment.
- Advanced zoom: the gimbal uses multiple daylight cameras with both optical and digital magnification and smooth transitions between modes.
- Image stabilisation: mechanical pan‑tilt stabilisation combined with software algorithms to keep imagery steady in demanding flight conditions.
- Lightweight design: built to extend drone endurance and enable fitting on smaller platforms without losing performance.
- Night vision and AI: continuous 24/7 capability with automated detection, recognition and tracking to support faster decision-making.
- Open software architecture: designed for integrators and OEMs with secure interfaces and safeguards against unauthorised access.
Why this matters
The timing of the launch comes as armed forces and security agencies increasingly turn to unmanned systems to extend situational awareness while reducing exposure of personnel. A Europe‑made gimbal that claims to meet NATO and EU technical rules is intended to reduce dependency on non‑European components and shorten supply lines, which can be a critical factor in operations that require uninterrupted readiness.
Intended missions and platforms
NedEye is described as purpose-built for tactical ISR, border and coastal monitoring, search and rescue support, and identification tasks. Its weight class makes it suitable for a broad set of medium-size drones, letting operators choose between endurance, payload capacity and platform type while keeping a common imaging and sensor package.
Development approach and availability
The system is said to be the result of collaborative work with drone makers, systems integrators and operational users, building on long experience in military-grade optics. The development approach aims to deliver continuous improvements through operational feedback and incremental updates. The product is now available for demonstrations and integration talks, and interested defence and security organisations are invited to contact the manufacturer for trial opportunities.
Where NedEye sits in the market
The launch adds to a wave of new gimbal and payload systems aimed at improving stability, long-range imaging and secure integration. Several recent product introductions in the broader market have focused on better vibration isolation, improved connectivity and expanded sensor suites to meet diverse aerial missions. NedEye’s emphasis on European design and supply continuity is a distinguishing positioning in that context.
Contact and next steps for evaluators
Organisations that want to evaluate the system under operational conditions are directed to contact the manufacturer for demos and integration discussions. Formal enquiries can be sent to the listed contact channels for further technical details and trial arrangements.
