ACSL SOTEN Drone | Secure Aerial Inspection and Infrastructure Imaging The ACSL SOTEN drone is a compact, secure aerial photography platform designed for professionals working in infrastructure, inspection, mapping, and field data collection. Built with a focus on safety, efficiency, and data security, the ACSL SOTEN drone provides a reliable aerial platform for organizations that need dependable imaging and inspection capabilities in the field. Designed and manufactured in Japan, SOTEN combines ACSL's in-house technologies across control algorithms, airframe design, communications, camera systems, propellers, and data security — producing a professional drone platform for infrastructure teams, public-sector users, and organizations requiring secure aerial data collection. With a lightweight 4.4 lb aircraft body, IP43 protection, obstacle avoidance sensors, and swappable camera options, SOTEN is well suited for aerial imaging, inspection, and operational workflows where portability, expandability, and secure data handling are critical. ACSL SOTEN Drone Key Features Secure Data Handling Includes data security measures for communications, flight data, and photo/video data. Wireless transmission uses AES encryption, and recorded data can be encrypted on the recording media. Compact and Portable Professional Platform At 4.4 lb with a compact folding design, SOTEN is easy to transport and deploy while delivering professional inspection and imaging capabilities in the field. Expandable Swappable Camera Options One-touch-swappable cameras include a standard camera, SAMO EO/IR combo camera, multi-spectral camera, and optical zoom camera — adaptable to mission requirements without tools. Multi-Pilot In-Flight Control Control can be transferred in-flight between up to three controllers, with each controller continuously receiving video and telemetry data throughout the mission. Obstacle Avoidance Sensors Vision sensors on the front, top, and bottom — alongside infrared sensors on the top and bottom — provide multi-directional obstacle awareness during flight. Easy-to-Operate Interface The smart controller and user interface support efficient field operation, helping teams capture aerial data with a practical, streamlined workflow.
