Stinger Vision FPV — Blue UAS Cleared FPV Drone | ModalAI

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 the VOXL® 2 Mini — ModalAI's U.S.-made autonomy compute platform — the 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 available on the Blue UAS Cleared List.

Ready to Fly with Onboard AI — Reduced Pilot Training Required

The Stinger Vision ships operationally ready out of the box, 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.

Export Information

Notes: The Zorro Blue is a Radiomaster Zorro which has been gutted and the electronics have been replaced with ModalAI components built in the US. This controller was submitted as a part of the Blue sUAS Cleared Seeker Vision package and is NDAA-compliant. We refer to this as "Zorro Blue".  The Stinger Vision should be compatible with any 915MHz ELRS 3.5 R/C transmitter though.

Additional Items Not Included

• LiPo battery (sold separately in bundle kits -K1 and above)
• FPV goggles or VRX ground unit (included in -K4 and above)
• Optional Boson®+ 640 thermal camera payload (available as a separate configuration — select "EO and Boson+ 640" at checkout)
