Liteye Partners with Unmanned Experts to Bring Thermal Imaging Payloads to the UAV & UV Markets in North America

    CENTENNIAL, CO, April 17, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Liteye Systems Inc, (www.Liteye.com), a Colorado designer and manufacture of thermal cameras and other cutting edge surveillance products, has appointed Unmanned Experts (www.unmannedexperts.com), a top provider of unmanned consultancy, training & services, as its new exclusive sales, technical support, and marketing partner in North America.

The move is designed to strengthen Liteye's product offerings and sales into the unmanned aerial vehicle and unmanned vehicle markets in North America. The thermal camera payloads will be designed for commercial, law enforcement, firefighting, and military customers. The highly experienced team at Unmanned Experts has been providing services to these customers for years with over 25,000 flying hours on UAS.

Under the terms of the agreement, Unmanned Experts will act as a licensed co-sale and marketing partner, as well as providing technical support to customers. Starting next week Liteye will be releasing the first in a series of thermal camera and fusion camera payloads designed specifically for the UAV's. These products will be part of Liteye's "Aquila" family of thermal cameras.

Tom Scott, President and Co-founder of Liteye System, said: "We're excited to be teaming with Unmanned Experts to bring our payload offerings to the rapidly growing UAV market. Liteye has built high quality specialty thermal cameras for critical infrastructure facilities around the world, and we wanted to bring that precision and expertise to a new line of payloads specifically designed for UAV's. Unmanned Experts vast knowledge and experience in the UAS industry has made them the perfect match to accomplish that."

Liteye's line of products has provided surveillance and security for critical infrastructure such as airports, ports, bases, oil facilities, royal palaces, and power utilities. Liteye's line of "Aquila" cameras also successfully protected the 2012 Olympics games in London.

Keven Gambold, CEO of Unmanned Experts, said: "We are thrilled to be representing and supporting Liteye's products into the UAV market in North America. This new line of products will provide drone operators something they have badly needed, quality thermal imagers." He added, "Unlike the low performance cameras that have been borrowed from other markets and forced to fit on UAV platforms, the new Aquila line is designed to provide the high-end enhanced quality images usually found in much bigger thermal cameras, all now in a rugged (IP67), low-power, low-weight package that is easily installed on most current UAV systems already flown."
