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.
Nedinsco announced on 8 September the rollout of NedEye, a next‑generation, fully European gimbal system built for tactical Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) drones. The system is introduced as a lightweight, rugged airborne observation unit that packs long‑range zoom, strong image stabilisation and continuous day‑and‑night capability into a package aimed at medium‑weight unmanned platforms.
The timing of the launch reflects a wider shift toward unmanned and autonomous airborne sensors in defence and security. Forces and agencies are increasingly moving to remote platforms to improve situational awareness while reducing personnel exposure. NedEye is positioned to support that trend by delivering high‑end optical performance without penalising endurance or adding undue weight to host aircraft.
NedEye combines multiple daylight cameras with optical and digital zoom to cover short to extended ranges, backed by mechanical pan‑tilt stabilisation augmented with advanced software algorithms to keep visuals steady in turbulence and fast manoeuvres. Night operations are enabled through low‑light sensors and thermal capability, and embedded AI tools provide automated detection, recognition and tracking to accelerate decision‑making on board or at ground stations. The design priority is to keep the unit light enough to extend drone flight time and enable integration on smaller medium‑class platforms without sacrificing image quality.
The product is built entirely within Europe, an attribute presented as a way to reduce dependence on non‑European suppliers and to maintain uninterrupted operational readiness. European manufacture is also framed as a route to compliance with NATO and EU defence requirements and to lower geopolitical supply‑chain risk for operators that require assured sourcing.
Development drew on collaboration with drone manufacturers, systems integrators and operational end users and is described as drawing from the company’s long history in military‑grade optics. That collaborative loop is said to help refine features through rapid feedback and iterative updates. Intended applications include ISR missions, border security, target identification and other missions that depend on accurate long‑range visual intelligence.
The system is now available for demonstrations and integration discussions. Contact details provided in the announcement include a German office address and general inquiry email for those seeking operational evaluations or integration talks.
The announcement lands amid a busy year for airborne payloads and sensors. Several manufacturers have introduced new stabilization products, multi‑spectral gimbals and connected payload solutions aimed at maritime patrol, border surveillance and commercial inspections. At the same time, European drone certification activity and a push for components free of export restrictions have increased demand for locally manufactured, interoperable sensor systems.
NedEye is a European‑made gimbal and sensor suite for tactical ISR drones, offering zoom, image stabilisation, night vision and AI‑assisted detection and tracking.
The system is designed for medium‑weight platforms in the 2–150 kg class and supports both fixed‑wing and rotary aircraft.
It includes multiple daylight cameras with optical and digital zoom, continuous zoom transitions, thermal/low‑light sensors for night operations, and software stabilisation plus mechanical pan‑tilt stabilisers.
The system is marketed with an open software architecture intended for secure integration with OEMs and system integrators, including protections against unauthorised access.
Defence and security organisations interested in operational evaluations are invited to contact the company through the general inquiry channel or the listed office phone and email.
