Trillium Engineering Introduces the HD25-LV-C: A Low-Cost Imaging System Designed for Air Launched Effects

Hood River, Ore. – May 14, 2025 – Trillium Engineering, a leader in advanced gimbaled imaging solutions, has announced the launch of the HD25-LV-C, a compact, lightweight, gimbaled imaging system, built to address the challenge of cost constrained programs like Launched Effects (LE), loitering munitions, and other attritable platforms. As defense priorities shift toward scalable, cost-effective systems for contested environments, the HD25-LV-C delivers Trillium’s proven imaging, onboard processing, and scene steering capabilities in a compact design built for expendable use.

“The HD25-LV-C was built to align with the evolving tactical landscape,” said Ryan O’Connor, Vice President of Product Development, of Trillium Engineering. “The future of ISR is smaller, smarter, more integrated, and cost efficient. The HD25-LV-C is our response to that future, an imaging system built not just to operate in complex environments, but to excel in them.”

Weighing just 390 grams, the HD25-LV-C meets strict SWaP-C requirements and integrates seamlessly with small UAS and LE platforms. Despite its size, the system supports visible and LWIR imaging, onboard electronic stabilization, and real-time geolocation accurate to within 1.5°, ensuring precise and reliable performance in dynamic conditions.

Trillium’s investment in the HD25-LV-C reflects the company’s continued commitment to supporting next-generation autonomous missions with sensor solutions that are precise, reliable, and ready for scale.

The HD25-LV-C is now available for integration and evaluation. To learn more, visit www.trilliumeng.com.
