Smaller. Lighter. Smarter.

Built on proven phoenix pod technology

The Phoenix Mini represents the next evolution in SiNAB’s airborne ISR capability. Built on the proven technology of the Phoenix Pod, the Mini has been engineered as a compact, lightweight solution designed to deliver advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) across a broader range of aircraft and mission profiles. With the Phoenix Pod now operational and approved for military flight in the United States, the Phoenix Mini continues our focus on innovation, adaptability, and modularity – answering the growing demand for a smaller, more agile system without compromising on performance.

Why Phoenix Mini?

Compact and Cost Effective

Designed for lighter, smaller host aircraft, the Phoenix Mini is ideal for scenarios where lower-powered sensors (up to ~5nm range) and simple communications equipment, such as Video Downlink (VDL), are sufficient.

Flexible Sensor Options

Payload options include Electro-Optical, Infrared, and Laser
Designation systems. Future configurations will support Infrared Search and Track (IRST) and Electronic Warfare (EW) payloads.

Mission Ready

Leverages the same tablet-based Human Machine Interface (HMI) and wireless communication system used in the standard Phoenix Pod—ensuring ease of use and consistent operator experience.

Key applications

Compact. Capable. Mission-Ready.

ISR, JTAC & JFO Training
Search and Rescue
Bushfire Mapping
Border Surveillance
Disaster Response
Coastal Monitoring

R&D Platforms

Aircraft compatibility

Suitable for a wide range of platforms

Turboprop Platforms

PC-9, PC-21, T-6, Caravan, King Air

Jet Aircraft

Hawk, L-39, Learjet

Rotary-Wing Aircraft

Light helicopters

Light Fixed-Wing

Civil or ex-military aircraft suited to ISR and training roles

The Phoenix Mini enhances mission readiness by emulating the CAS capabilities of platforms such as the F/A-18A/B without the need for aircraft modifications. Whether on T-6B, Hawk, or other training or legacy aircraft, the Mini brings sophisticated capability at a lower footprint.
