The video below provides an overview of Autel Robotics' Dragonfish series.
Modular, robust, and waterproof, this UAV featuring a tilt-rotor design with no complicated moving parts maximises efficiency and performance while simplifying operation. The Autel Robotics Dragonfish Pro Drone’s modular design and quick-release propellers also make it easy to transport, assemble, and disassemble. It can be ready to fly within 3 minutes and features a 5-second system boot and self-check. The Autel Robotics Dragonfish Pro Drone delivers up to 180 minutes of flight time, making it ideal for prolonged missions.
Powerful AI tracking and Autel Voyager software facilitate comprehensive mission planning, intelligent tracking, flight history tracking, and autonomous features, allowing you to simplify and streamline missions. Advanced algorithms deliver the following tracking, planning, and flying functions:
In addition to this, the Autel Robotics Dragonfish Pro Drone’s RTK module gathers real-time, centimetre-level positioning data, original satellite observation data, and camera exposure parameters. It removes the need for ground control points while allowing you to obtain precise coordinates for targets. The Autel Robotics Dragonfish Pro Drone can identify up to 64 objects simultaneously and can track targets travelling at speeds of up to 120 km/hr. The RTK module also supports Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK), A-RTK/ GNSS base stations, and RTK networks.
The Autel Robotics Dragonfish Pro Drone has been optimised for safety and reliability. It includes the following safety features:
The Autel Robotics Ground Control ensures maximum visibility and practicality in all conditions. It features a high-resolution (2048x1536px), ultra-bright (1000 nits), 9.7” TFT-LCD, supports video transmission up to 18.6 miles (30km), is water- and dust- resistant, and has a battery life of 4.5 hours. Additionally, the Autel Robotics Ground Control Station can be operated indefinitely with a remote power source.
Optimised for professional, pro-longed missions, the Autel Robotics Dragonfish Pro Drone is a practical, adaptable, reliable modular VTOL UAS.
