The U.S. Army is set to enhance its Long Range Reconnaissance capabilities through the integration of Trillium Engineering’s HD40-LVV imaging system onto new uncrewed aircraft platforms.
Following a $13.2 million contract award to AeroVironment for the P550 uncrewed aircraft system, Trillium’s payload will provide the primary Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data for the program.
This initiative reflects the military’s strategic shift toward high-endurance, Group 2 solutions that can deliver persistent surveillance at extended ranges. Trillium Engineering, a developer of gimbal imaging technology for defense and civil domains, focuses on engineering payloads that meet these evolving mission demands.
The HD40-LVV is a lightweight payload designed with low size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) requirements to maximize the effectiveness of tactical UAS platforms. By combining high-definition optics, advanced stabilization, and onboard processing power, the system delivers high-confidence ISR data. This technical configuration ensures that the aircraft can maintain its endurance and handling qualities while providing the necessary imagery for complex missions.
Under the terms of the contract, the P550 systems will be delivered for Army testing and evaluation. These efforts support the service’s push to accelerate distributed reconnaissance capabilities, particularly in contested environments. With the HD40-LVV onboard, these platforms are equipped to identify targets at greater distances, provide real-time situational awareness for ground commanders, and maintain mission persistence during extended flight operations.
