Gremsy USA has announced a strategic collaboration with Easy Aerial to integrate its advanced electro-optical/infrared payload systems into Blue UAS-certified drone platforms, creating secure and NDAA-compliant ISR solutions purpose-built for U.S. defense, homeland security, and public safety operations. The partnership leverages Gremsy USA’s VIO F1 Blue UAS payload and Easy Aerial’s autonomous drone-in-a-box Osprey Blue UAS platform. This integrated system bridges the gap from sensor to fully vetted drone, delivering a field-ready surveillance solution for tactical edge missions.

The collaboration follows a formal agreement initiated in mid-2024, marking the beginning of joint development efforts that culminated in official Blue UAS certification in 2025 after rigorous evaluation. The integrated system passed technical and cybersecurity assessments to meet stringent standards, including compliance with federal mandates and procurement frameworks.

Gremsy USA’s VIO F1 is already listed on the Blue UAS Cleared List and officially available for pre-order, with the first production units slated to ship later this year. This payload combines high-performance visible and thermal imaging with laser rangefinding and onboard stabilization, all delivered in a compact and robust module engineered for secure operation in sensitive environments. Supply chain transparency and full compliance with U.S. origin policies are central to the payload’s design, addressing national security concerns and streamlined government acquisition requirements.

Easy Aerial’s Osprey Blue UAS platform brings autonomous, rapidly deployable flight hardware that is Blue-certified and ready for acquisition by government and public safety agencies without the need for exceptions or waivers. The automated, drone-in-a-box format supports tethered and untethered ISR operations and is optimized for scalability and ease of deployment in diverse mission scenarios.

By unifying the VIO F1 payload with the Osprey Blue UAS, the companies deliver a cohesive system capable of providing real-time situational awareness, persistent overwatch, and rapid tactical responsiveness. The solution is geared toward scenarios ranging from border security and critical infrastructure monitoring to disaster response and first responder support. The integrated platform is designed to operate in complex and high-risk theaters where cyber-secure performance and supply chain trust are non-negotiable.

Both organizations emphasize their U.S.-based operations, American labor, and domestically sourced components, reinforcing their commitment to policy-compliant system provenance. This is a critical differentiator in the procurement process for agencies seeking to avoid foreign-origin hardware vulnerabilities and to streamline acquisition timelines. The certification under the Blue UAS framework offers a fast path to field deployment, eliminating long approval cycles for systems that already meet compliance benchmarks.

This partnership underscores a broader trend in drone technology toward fully integrated, secure, and certified systems tailored to U.S. government needs. By combining Gremsy’s payload expertise with Easy Aerial’s certified platform, the solution reduces integration complexity for operators, accelerates deployment timing, and ensures trusted performance at the tactical edge. For defense integrators and public safety agencies, this offers a compelling new option: a ready-to-buy, field-ready ISR system built around security, reliability, and domestic accountability.
