Smart. Simple. Efficient.

The Dragonfish’s unique tilt-rotor design simplifies operation while maximizing performance and efficiency. With no complicated moving parts, the Dragonfish is modular, waterproof, smart, and reliable. The Dragonfish is mission ready right out of the box and includes powerful AI tracking capabilities and a multitude of modular payload options. An endurance of up to 158 minutes (including payload) further augments the Dragonfish’s robust mission capabilities and pushes it significantly ahead of the competition.

Safety and Redundancy

Built Tough: The Aircraft’s composite outer shell and carbon fiber core gives the aircraft and wind resistance rating of level 6 and IP43 weather resistance to handle complex environments with ease.Backup Modules: The Dragonfish battery, barometer, positioning system, compass, and IMU all have backup modules to ensure flight safety.Attentive AI: Vigilant AI continuously self-checks the system to prevent faults before they occur.Autel Robotics’ superior flight control platform guarantees stability and reliability in every flight.High Quality Sensors: Integrated airspeed velocity sensor monitor the environment in real time, even while buffeted by snow or ice.Automatic Transition: The Dragonfish will automatically transition to multi-rotor mode if adverse conditions cause fixed winged flight to stall or become unsustainable. The Dragonfish can automatically choose which mode to fly for the best performance.Internal Communication: Dual-redundant CAN bus communication protects the aircraft from electromagnetic interference and enables the rudder surface and motor status to be monitored in real time.

Terrain Follow

Quick Mission

ADS-B Receiver

Dragonfish is also able to notify the operators about incoming manned aircrafts’ position, altitude and speed through an integrated ADS-B receiver, dramatically improving flight safety.

RTK Accuracy

Map with confidence with the Dragonfish’s two RTK (Real-Time Kinetic) modules, which enable the aircraft to provide centimeter-accurate location data when paired with a GNSS base station. The dual units back up each other’s data for additional peace of mind, while also improving image metadata quality and increasing flight precision and safety.

Interchangeable Payload System

*Please refer to the specifications page for specific payloads adaptability.

Tackle any operation with a variety of payload options that can be toolessly swapped to suit mission needs. Dragonfish payloads are designed to be interchangeable between aircraft classes to maximize the value and enhance the mission capability of the system.
