AI-enabled day and thermal imaging payload camera designed for lightweight defense UAV platforms and mission-critical intelligence gathering

Rehovot, Israel, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maris-Tech Ltd. (NASDAQ:MTEK, MTEKW))) ("Maris-Tech" or the "Company"), a global leader in artificial intelligence ("AI")-based edge video processing technology, today announced the development of a new advanced drone gimbal camera designed to support intelligence gathering, surveillance, and situational awareness missions for unmanned aerial platforms.

The new camera, once developed, will integrate a 4K day camera and a thermal imaging sensor, supporting real-time video streaming and advanced AI-powered analytics directly at the edge. Designed with a strong focus on miniaturization and low weight, the camera is intended to meet the strict size, weight, and power ("SWaP") requirements of modern unmanned aerial vehicles while maintaining high-performance imaging capabilities.

The development is based on Maris-Tech's existing video and AI platforms, which have already been deployed and field-proven on thousands of drone systems worldwide. By leveraging these proven technologies, the Company aims to accelerate the introduction of a compact, ruggedized payload camera optimized for operational environments.

Maris-Tech believes the new camera under development will deliver a competitive, ready-to-deploy imaging solution that combines high-resolution day video, thermal sensing, and onboard AI capabilities within a lightweight form factor. The camera, once developed, is expected to support a wide range of drone-based intelligence and surveillance missions.

According to the Company, the development initiative is driven by a strong demand from Maris-Tech's existing customer base, which continues to seek integrated edge video and AI capabilities within compact aerial platforms.

The Company currently expects to complete development of the new drone camera by the end of 2026.
