DeltaQuad Evo
Product descripton: DeltaQuad Evo by DeltaQuad
Evolved aerial autonomy
The future of insight is unmanned: An eye in the sky provides heightened perspective and increased efficiency in mapping and surveying. Similarly, long distance drones are transforming modern battlefields with their ISTAR capabilities and ability to transport critical goods rapidly.
DeltaQuad Evo redefines long range drone capabilities with 270 km range and 4.5 hour flight time. Built to the highest military-grade standards, it delivers unmatched performance for defense and commercial missions.
Evo’s dual payload capacity enables multiple missions in a single flight. Evo empowers users to expand their vehicle’s functionality without vendor lock-in constraints. Catering to the needs of the world’s most ambitious drone operators, Evo is a future-proof solution for an constantly evolving industry.
Fully autonomous missions
Evo can perform complex missions with minimal pilot intervention. These range from ISTAR and stealthy supply transport to insight-gathering, mapping, monitoring, and surveying. Evo stays on top of every mission, even when outside communication range of up to 270 km.
Advanced aerodynamics
Evo’s patented wing shape ensures striking manoeuvrability and efficient flight performance. This makes Evo a best-in-class long distance drone, flying up to 4.5 hours.
Dual swappable payloads
Evo’s modular payload system enables maximum insight and rapid field adaptation for a vast range of sensors, automation, or customization options. Operate two sensors simultaneously or extend flight time with an additional battery.
Aerospace grade airframe
Produced with the highest quality carbon, kevlar, and fibreglass. This provides an extremely robust, lightweight airframe that will last for years, even in the harshest conditions.
Powered by Auterion
By running on Auterion’s advanced OS and mission control software, Evo becomes more widely deployable. Pilots familiar with Auterion-powered systems can operate the Evo without additional specialized training, significantly reducing operational costs.
Retractable landing gear
Evo automatically extends and retracts the landing gear. This allows a diverse set of payloads to be installed both inside and underneath the platform while simplifying take-off and landing in congested areas.
5 minute quick deployment
Easy to unpack, assemble, and flight plan. Evo is in the air and collecting data in five minutes, providing pilots with the ability to deploy rapidly.
