ACSL SOTEN Agriculture Bundle Plus

The ACSL SOTEN Agriculture Bundle Plus is a purpose-built aerial solution for precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and research-driven fieldwork, with a strong emphasis on advanced multispectral imaging. At the core of the bundle is the ACSL multispectral payload, which captures data across key wavelengths—including 550 nm, 680 nm, and 850 nm—enabling NDVI and other vegetation indices used to assess crop health, stress, and growth variability. This targeted spectral data helps growers and agronomists make informed decisions around irrigation, nutrient management, and yield optimization.Paired with the NDAA-compliant SOTEN airframe, the multispectral camera benefits from SOTEN’s one-touch swappable payload system, allowing operators to adapt quickly as mission needs change. The bundle also includes the rugged TAITEN Smart Controller with a bright 7″ 1500 nits display and secure, encrypted connectivity for dependable field operations. Designed and manufactured in Japan with security and reliability in mind, the SOTEN Agriculture Bundle delivers a scalable, data-driven platform for modern agricultural and environmental applications.
About SOTEN
Compact, Mission-Ready Design
The ACSL SOTEN is engineered for operators who need a compact, highly portable drone that can deploy quickly in the field. With a maximum takeoff weight around 4.4 lbs and a foldable airframe, SOTEN is easy to transport and can be airborne in under a minute, making it ideal for time-sensitive public safety, inspection, and enterprise missions.
Swappable Payload System with Four Options
At the core of SOTEN’s versatility is its one-touch swappable payload system, allowing operators to rapidly change sensors when out in the field. SOTEN supports four payload options, enabling a single platform to adapt to inspection, public safety, survey, and thermal applications—eliminating the need for multiple drones. Payloads options include: 
Standard Camera – 20MP, 1” sensor, mechanical shutter, 28mm lens for accurate mapping and inspection (Included in Agriculture Bundle) 
SAMO Thermal/Optical Payload – Dual thermal-optical payload built around the Teledyne FLIR Hadron™ 640R, combining a 640X512 Boson® radiometric thermal sensor with a high-resolution 64MP visible camera and up to 20× zoom—ideal for public safety operations, infrastructure inspections, and other mission-critical applications (Sold Separately)
Multispectral Camera – 20MP, 1” sensor, mechanical shutter, captures spectral data across 550nm, 680nm, and 850nm wavelengths (Included in Agriculture Bundle) 
Optical Zoom Camera – 25x total zoom – 2.5x optical and 10x digital, 12MP with an 18–45mm focal range for detailed inspection from a safe distance (Sold Separately)
Obstacle Awareness & Operational Safety
SOTEN is equipped with multi-directional obstacle sensors, combining stereo cameras and infrared sensors positioned on the front, top, and bottom of the aircraft. These sensors enhance situational awareness, helping pilots safely navigate complex environments such as infrastructure, industrial facilities, and confined spaces.
Security-First Architecture
Security is foundational to the SOTEN platform. Designed and manufactured in Japan, SOTEN incorporates ISO 15408–grade security measures that protect communications, flight data, and imagery from unauthorized access or interference. These protections support full NDAA compliance, giving U.S. operators confidence in how data is transmitted, stored, and managed, without forced cloud dependencies.
Performance You Can Rely On
Powered by motors developed in collaboration with Yamaha, SOTEN delivers strong, stable flight performance with 25 minutes of endurance, a 33 mph maximum speed, and reliable wind resistance. Combined with FAA-accepted Remote ID compliance and dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz communication, SOTEN is built to meet today’s regulatory, operational, and performance demands.
Weather Durability
With an IP43 rating, SOTEN is built to operate in adverse conditions, resisting rain, dust, and debris commonly encountered during real-world operations. This durability ensures consistent performance when missions can’t wait for perfect weather.
Advanced Software & Connected Operations
SOTEN’s software suite supports efficient mission planning, stable flight control, and scalable operations. SOTEN uses ACSL’s in-house developed TAKEOFF application, available for download on PC computers. 
NDAA-Compliant TAITEN Smart Controller The ACSL TAITEN Smart Controller is purpose-built for demanding SOTEN missions where reliability, security, and visibility are critical. It features a bright, 1500-nit 7-inch daylight-readable display, encrypted dual-band communications, and an IP54-rated design to withstand real-world field conditions. Running the ACSL TAKEOFF app, TAITEN provides responsive, low-latency control for flight, camera, and payload operations. Customizable physical controls and extensive connectivity options support a wide range of workflows, from inspection and surveying to public safety missions.
