Introducing: VTOL Dragonfish
Endurance & Practicality
Delivering up to 75 minutes of flight time, the Autel Robotics Dragonfish Lite Drone is ideal for prolonged missions. This robust VTOL unmanned aircraft system features a tilt-rotor design, thereby maximising performance and efficiency while simplifying operation. The modular and waterproof construction of the Dragonfish, with no complicated moving parts, ensures it can deliver reliable performance. It is ready-to-fly within 3 minutes of unpacking and features a 5-second system boot and self-check. Furthermore, its modular design and quick-release propellers ensure that it is equally easy to disassemble for transport or repair.
AI Technology & RTK Module
Moreover, the Autel Robotics Dragonfish Lite Drone includes powerful AI tracking and Autel Voyager software to streamline and simplify missions. Autel Voyager software delivers comprehensive mission planning, intelligent tracking, flight history tracking, and autonomous features. Advanced algorithms facilitate the following tracking, planning, and flying functions:
- One-button Landing/ Takeoff
- AI High-speed Tracking
- Point of Interest
- Adaptive Tracking
- Advanced Mission Planning
In addition to this, an RTK module gathers real-time, centimetre-level positioning data, original satellite observation data, and camera exposure parameters. It supports Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK), A-RTK/ GNSS base stations, and RTK networks, and removes the need for ground control points while allowing you to obtain precise coordinates for targets. The Autel Robotics Dragonfish Lite Drone can identify up to 64 objects simultaneously and can track targets travelling at speeds of up to 120 km/hr. It supports infrared detection up to 2000m as well as 4K 20x optical zoom.
Safety
Reliability and safety are at the forefront of the Autel Robotics Dragonfish’s design. It includes the following safety features:
- IP43
- High-strength composite body
- Level 6 wind resistance
- Backup modules for the battery, IMU, barometer, compass, and positioning system
- An advanced flight control platform ensures a stable and reliable flight
- Automatically transitions to multi-rotor mode in adverse conditions where fixed-winged flight may stall or be unsustainable
- Dual-redundant CAN bus communication protects the Dragonfish from electromagnetic interference by monitoring the rudder surface and motor status in real time
- Integrated airspeed velocity sensors resistant to snow and ice
- AI continually self-checks the system to prevent accidents/ faults before they occur
9.7-Inch Ultra-Bright Ground Control Station
Featuring a high-resolution (2048x1536px), ultra-bright (1000 nits), 9.7” TFT-LCD display, the Autel Robotics Ground Control delivers maximum visibility and practicality in all situations. The Autel Robotics Ground Control’s antenna design offers a video transmission range of 18.6 miles (30km). This water- and dust-resistant ground station controller has a battery life of up to 4.5 hours and can be operated indefinitely with a remote power source.
The Autel Robotics Dragonfish Lite Drone is a modular VTOL UAS specifically designed for longevity, adaptability, and safety.
