About
Komodo offers high performance in a compact 12U form, with GSD and swath comparable to larger systems. It generates multispectral data for diverse uses, supporting both push-broom and RGB snapshot modes for flexible Earth observation and space situational awareness (SSA). Komodo uniquely combines versatility and high-resolution performance. This product is on Dragonfly’s cameras roadmap at TRL 5.
