NedEye European-made gimbal mounted on a tactical drone for ISR missions.
Netherlands, September 8, 2025
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.
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.
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.
NedEye is positioned as a secure, interoperable payload with a focus on supply chain control and standards compliance. Major features include:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
NedEye is designed for medium-weight drones, suitable for both fixed-wing and rotary platforms in the 2–150 kg class.
Yes. The system includes night vision sensors and software features that enable continuous 24/7 operation.
It combines mechanical pan-tilt stabilisation with software algorithms to reduce motion blur and keep images stable across flight conditions.
The gimbal is offered with an open software architecture and secure interfaces intended for OEMs and system integrators.
European production is aimed at ensuring supply chain security, alignment with regional defence standards and reduced reliance on non-European parts.
Interested defence and security organisations are advised to contact the manufacturer directly to request demonstrations and integration discussions.
