A robust, waterproof tilt-rotor design with no complicated moving parts maximises the Autel Robotics Dragonfish Standard Drone’s efficiency and performance while simplifying operation. Moreover, the Autel Robotics Dragonfish Standard Drone’s modular design and quick-release propellers make it easy to transport, assemble, and disassemble; it can be ready to fly within three minutes and features a five-second system boot and self-check.
AI Technology & RTK Module
Autel Voyager Software coupled with powerful AI tracking allows you to streamline and simplify missions. Together, they deliver comprehensive mission planning, intelligent tracking, flight history tracking, and autonomous features, while advanced algorithms facilitate the following tracking, planning, and flying functions:
- One-button Landing/ Take Off
- AI High-speed Tracking
- Point of Interest
- Adaptive Tracking
- Advanced Mission Planning
Furthermore, an RTK module collects real-time centimetre-level positioning data, original satellite observation data, and camera exposure parameters, removing the need for ground control points when obtaining precise coordinates for targets. The Autel Robotics Dragonfish Standard Drone can track targets travelling at speeds of up to 120 km/hr and it can identify up to sixty-four objects simultaneously. The RTK module also supports Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK), A-RTK/GNSS base stations, and RTK networks.
Safety
Optimised for safety and reliability, the Autel Robotics Dragonfish Standard Drone offers the following:
- 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 that ensures a stable and reliable flight
- Automatic transition to multi-rotor mode in adverse conditions where fixed-winged flight may stall or be unsuitable
- Dual-redundant CAN bus communication that 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 that continually checks the system to prevent accidents/faults before they occur
9.7-Inch Ultra-Bright Ground Control Station
Providing maximum visibility and practicality in all conditions, the Autel Robotics Ground Control has a high-resolution (2048x1536px), ultra-bright (1000 nits), 9.7” TFT-LCD that supports video transmission up to 18.6 miles (30km) and has a battery life of four and a half hours. Additionally, the Autel Robotics Ground Control Station is both water- and dust-resistant and can be operated indefinitely with a remote power source.
Ideal for professional missions, the Autel Robotics Dragonfish Standard Drone is an ergonomic, versatile, and dependable modular VTOL UAS.
