Stinger Vision FPV

Product Description

The Stinger Vision FPV is ModalAI's ready-to-fly, Blue UAS Cleared and NDAA-compliant FPV drone built for defense, government and enterprise missions. Powered by VOXL 2 Mini — ModalAI's U.S.-made autonomy compute platform — Stinger Vision delivers AI-enabled FPV flight with onboard computer vision, GPS-denied navigation and long-range encrypted video streaming out of the box. It is one of the only American-made FPV drones on the Blue UAS Cleared List.

Stinger Vision ships operationally ready, with AI-assisted flight modes enabled by the onboard VOXL 2 Mini and VOXL SDK, significantly reducing pilot training burden. MVX — ModalAI's U.S.-made FPV streaming system, comprising the VRX ground unit and VTX air unit — delivers long-range, low-latency encrypted HD video to any HDMI-based FPV goggle or display. From unboxing to airborne in under 60 seconds when batteries are pre-charged.

MVX Digital FPV Streaming (U.S.-Made)

  • Digital HD video with 256-bit AES encryption
  • Long-range video link — tested up to 11 km
  • Low latency: 35-45 ms glass-to-glass depending on configuration
  • Dual band: 2.412-2.484 GHz and 5.160-5.885 GHz
  • Toggle and fly 3 FPV cameras: EO, downward, thermal (if equipped)
  • 915 MHz ELRS Gemini R/C link

Perception and Autonomy

  • 4MP low-light, IR-sensitive EO color image sensor (IMX664) for FPV streaming and capture
  • Optional 640x480 Boson+ 640 thermal camera for FPV streaming and capture
  • Dual AR0144 fisheye computer vision cameras for autonomous flight
  • Downward thermal camera for night-time position hold
  • Multi-Cam Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) for GPS-denied autonomous navigation
  • Backtrack flight mode — automatically retraces its path when the video link is lost
  • Pill LED, overt and IR
  • Full VOXL SDK onboard — operationally ready out of the box, open for customer-developed autonomy expansion (MOSA)

Quick to Deploy

Assuming the batteries are charged and the R/C and VTX are paired, deploying Stinger Vision takes under 60 seconds: connect the battery (10 s), power on the R/C (10 s), power on the VRX and goggles (20 s), check the R/C connection (10 s), check the VRX connection (10 s), then arm and fly.
