Empowering Vision. Enabling Missions.

Trillium Engineering was founded in 2013 by three engineers with deep experience in UAS payload design and deployment. With a shared passion for innovation and an intuitive eye for design, they set out to build a company dedicated to delivering high-quality vision systems for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. As the mission-enabling "eyes" of crewed and uncrewed aircraft and ground systems, Trillium provides best-in-class stability and imagery. Whether for real-time geospatial or geolocation applications, in the visible or infrared spectrums, the comprehensive product line meets the demands of the most challenging ISR operations.

The mission that drives it all: to deliver advanced visual intelligence solutions that empower customers to solve the world’s most complex challenges.

We believe that our ability to rapidly develop technology can make a real difference quickly by ensuring that our customers are equipped with the best tools available. Our goal is to help these organizations work toward a better global community.

Today

Over the last ten years, Trillium's product line has become more diverse. Not only do they solve new UAS challenges, but they appeal to a much larger customer base. Today Trillium is widely recognized as a leading provider in gimbal innovations for Group 1, 2, and 3 UAS in the government, commercial and civil sectors. From the signature HD25, ideal for the micro UAS, to the new HD95 that accommodates the medium-altitude-long-endurance (MALE) UAS, Trillium’s product line continues to set the standard among platforms small and large.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Through the ongoing support from employees and customers, Trillium has bootstrapped a world-class development company in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Located in Hood River, Oregon, (the place where it all began) there is now a larger corporate office in the small, vibrant city known for it's scenery and recreational opportunities. The region is also home to numerous renewable energy and technology companies, making it a strong hub for innovation and sustainability.
