CRI’s LodeStar™ System is a flexible gimbal stabilization framework that can accommodate endless sensor payload configurations to meet customer requirements. From image capture to analysis and product generation, LodeStar™ makes gathering aerial data simple.

System Overview

CRI's LodeStar framework is the result of nearly two decades of CRI team expertise in stabilized gimbal system development, integration, and deployment.  LodeStar is now available commercially as an end-to-end solution.  While many systems require larger aircraft, LodeStar is comparable in size, weight, and power to smaller 15-inch sensory systems currently in use on many fixed wing, helicopter, UAS and aerostat platforms.  The LodeStar system includes a sensor package of your choosing, an air capture/processing server, and a ground processing/dissemination system.  LodeStar systems can be tailored for customer requirements.  The low size, weight, and power of the LodeStar system enables a quickly deployable, cost-effective, high-quality capture solution.
