{"product_id":"acsl-soten-ndaa-compliant-drone","title":"ACSL Soten NDAA Compliant Drone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ACSL SOTEN is a compact, NDAA-compliant enterprise drone made in Japan, built for missions where the security of your imagery, flight data, and communications has to be assured. A one-touch swappable camera system lets a single airframe carry a standard 1-inch camera, an optical-zoom camera, a multispectral camera, or a thermal-plus-visible payload. AES-256 encryption, secure supply-chain provenance, an IP43 weather-resistant airframe, and multi-pilot handoff make it a strong fit for public safety, inspection, disaster response, and survey work. This listing covers the SOTEN across its available configurations, so you can choose the camera and package that matches your mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eNDAA-compliant, made-in-Japan enterprise drone with one-touch swappable cameras, AES-256 encryption, and an IP43 airframe.
