Description
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 180 minutes (including payload) further augments the Dragonfish’s robust mission capabilities and pushes it significantly ahead of the competition.

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.
-
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.
-
The whole system self checks in 5 seconds and is ready to fly in 5 minutes.
-
Quick-release blade design makes assembly simple and convenient.
