Autonomous X-Ray Imaging

Autonomous X-Ray Imaging & Material Characterization Platform

Space-Proven Inspection Technology. Built for Earth.

Overview

ThinkX by ThinkOrbital is redefining what’s possible in autonomous inspection, threat assessment, and situational awareness. 

ThinkXT is the only patented autonomous platform-to-platform X-ray imaging system on the market — born from ThinkX, our space-based Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and ISR platform. That heritage translates directly into unmatched imaging precision, operational safety, and remote inspection capability for terrestrial applications. 

From public safety and defense operations to critical infrastructure inspection, ThinkXT provides operators with the ability to safely inspect and analyze targets at a distance — without placing personnel in harm’s way. 

Key Capabilities

Patented Autonomous X-Ray Imaging Technology

The only autonomous platform-to-platform X-ray inspection system commercially available.

Remote Threat Assessment

Safely inspect suspicious objects, vehicles, containers, and hazardous environments from a stand-off distance.

Drone Agnostic

Advanced onboard analysis enables rapid identification and characterization of materials during operations.

10-30m Standoff Distances

10-30m Standoff Distances

High-Resolution Imaging

Sub-centimeter resolution while hovering and sub-millimeter resolution when landed.

Space-Proven Ruggedized Payloads

Utilizes the same hardened payload architecture developed for orbital operations.

Large-Scale Inspection Capability 

Rapidly capture X-ray imagery across vehicles, shipping containers, infrastructure assets, and other large targets.

Applications

Public Safety & Law Enforcement

Enable first responders and security teams to remotely inspect suspicious packages, vehicles, and environments while minimizing operational risk.

Defense & ISR 

Support autonomous intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and threat assessment missions with advanced stand-off imaging capabilities.

Critical Infrastructure Inspection

Inspect energy, industrial, and transportation infrastructure with high-resolution non-invasive imaging.

Space & Orbital Operations 

Leverage the same flight-proven payload technology designed for Space Domain Awareness and autonomous orbital inspection missions.

Built for Autonomous Operations

ThinkXT operates autonomously with real-time operator oversight and mission monitoring.  Its advanced onboard systems are designed to conduct precise imaging and analysis while maintaining strict operational safety standards.   

The platform enables rapid deployment, scalable mission execution, and high-confidence inspection workflows in environments where conventional systems fall short.  

Start remote. Stay remote. ThinkXT’s novel technology enables public safety special operations teams and specialized military units to rapidly capture X‑ray imagery across a wide range of large targets — achieving what conventional portable ground-based X‑ray systems simply cannot. 

Why ThinkXT

ThinkXT represents the convergence of space-grade engineering and next-generation autonomous inspection technology.

By adapting capabilities originally developed for orbital missions, ThinkOrbital delivers a breakthrough platform capable of transforming how organizations approach security, inspection, and situational awareness on Earth.
