Undercover and covert operations demand surveillance technology that blends seamlessly into real-world environments while delivering reliable intelligence and evidentiary value.
MAXSUR supports law enforcement and government teams with discreet video and audio solutions designed for investigations, long-term monitoring, and intelligence-led operations.
Explore this channel to see how covert form factors, mission-specific configurations, and operator-focused workflows help reduce risk, preserve operational security, and improve investigative outcomes.
City-wide and area surveillance programs require layered visibility across complex, dynamic environments.
In this channel, MAXSUR brings together purpose-built technologies and expert insight to support scalable situational awareness—from the Merlin City-Wide Camera and covert pole-mounted surveillance, to uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), satellite imagery services, and operational guidance from experienced practitioners.
Explore how these capabilities can be combined to monitor large areas, improve coordination, deter activity of concern, and deliver actionable intelligence without overwhelming teams or infrastructure.
Capture scenes faster, preserve perishable evidence and return to measurable digital environments long after the physical scene has cleared. MAXSUR combines mapping drones, photogrammetry, LiDAR, reference targets, satellite intelligence, training and program development into complete capabilities for investigation, reconstruction, emergency response and operational planning.
Drones are no longer just an accessory—they’re a mission-ready capability for unmanned aerial intelligence and response, supporting ISR, crime scene and forensic mapping, search & rescue, and wide-area situational awareness. I
n this channel, MAXSUR brings together UAS platforms, custom payload development, mission-based training, and program strategy to help law enforcement, defense, and public safety teams deploy sustainable aerial capability aligned to real operational constraints—including NDAA-aligned system options when required.
Explore the channel to see how the right mix of aircraft, sensors, and workflows can improve outcomes, reduce risk, and scale coverage fast.
