Overview
The FLIR StormCaster-T is a longwave infrared (LWIR) zoom payload built to extend the ISR capability of the SkyRanger R70 and R80D platforms.
Advanced stabilization is designed to keep thermal imagery clear during flight, while built-in geolocation accuracy helps operators pinpoint what they’re viewing on the ground.
Suited to fire and rescue, law enforcement, hazmat, and oil and gas missions, the StormCaster-T adds thermal ISR capability for tactical operations that need to see beyond visible light.

FLIR StormCaster T
Description
Continuous Zoom LWIR Imaging Payload
The FLIR StormCaster-T is a next-generation longwave infrared (LWIR) ISR payload, purpose-built for tactical operations requiring enhanced thermal imaging, precision targeting, and long endurance. Compatible with the SkyRanger R70 and R80D SkyRaider, the StormCaster-T supports critical detection, recognition, identification, and target acquisition—day or night.
Its continuous zoom lens delivers sharp, actionable imagery at long range, extending surveillance and increasing standoff distance without sacrificing detail. The payload’s advanced 7x improvement in line-of-sight stabilization, expanded range of motion, and dramatically enhanced geolocation accuracy enable operators to maintain visual control, even in dynamic conditions.
Housed in a rugged, low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) form factor, the StormCaster-T is optimized for missions that demand extended time on station, mobility, and platform efficiency. Its modular design also supports rapid interchangeability across StormCaster payload types—maximizing flexibility and system interoperability.
