Hardware

Easy integration into UAV platforms

This system can be used on multirotor, fixed-wing VTOL and helicopter UAVs. This flexibility is an asset if you have a great diversity of missions: sizes and reliefs. Fixed-wing VTOL for big areas to survey, multirotor for small areas or vertical sections. When it comes to drones, the “quick release” attachment allows for easy mounting on a wide range of drones. Two options: Gremsy or Skyport, which can be interchanged depending on the drone you’re using.
