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

Autel robotics dragonfish series high resolutionBuilt 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.

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.

One Device. Any Mission.

Autel Voyager

Incredibly powerful yet simple to use, Autel Voyager is the one-stop solution for every mission. Designed specifically for the Dragonfish, the software provides advanced mission planning, intelligent tracking, flight history tracking, and other autonomous features.

• Mission Planning: Waypoint missions, polygon missions, and rectangular missions can be planned offsite prior to mission and started with a single click to begin autonomous flight. The pilot can regain control at any time during the mission for emergency maneuvers or custom flight path planning.

• Tap to Fly: Select a target on the camera and the Dragonfish will automatically fly to the selected location and orbit the subject.

• Mission Management: Monitor past missions and assign flights.

• Quick Mission: Set points of interest on the flight map during any part of the mission and the Dragonfish automatically will deviate from its original path plan to pursue the pilot’s needs.

Compact And Portable

With its innovative quick-release design and a speedy self-check,
the Dragonfish can be in the air and mission ready within 5 minutes.

  • icon

    The Dragonfish can be easily disassembled by a single person and fits into the trunk of any average-sized car. The entire system can be assembled without tools and ready to fly in less than 5 minutes.

Safety Mechanisms

GPS Loss Protection of dragonfish drone

GPS Loss Protection

If GPS signal is lost, the aircraft will automatically land at its current location.

Low Battery Protection of dragonfish drone

Low Battery Protection

When the aircraft’s battery reaches the set threshold, the pilot will receive a low battery warning, and the aircraft will start to return home automatically. Once the battery level has reached 15%, the pilot will receive a critical power warning, and the aircraft will automatically land on the spot.

Lost Signal Protection of dragonfish drone

Lost Signal Protection

If communication between the aircraft and the ground station is interrupted, the aircraft will use its GPS signal to return home automatically.
