IF1200 | Heavy-lift Hexacopter sUAS

Technical specifications

Robust Flight Performance
At the core of the IF1200’s capabilities is its heavy-lift hexacopter architecture, designed for stability, resilience, and repeatable performance. With a maximum flight time of 43 minutes and real-world endurance exceeding 30 minutes with a full payload, operators can rely on consistent operational windows for surveying, inspection, and emergency response missions. The hexacopter’s 16,000 mAh intelligent batteries are hot-swappable, enabling rapid turnaround between sorties without compromising efficiency. Its dual ascent/descent speeds of 5 m/s and 2.5 m/s, respectively, combined with robust wind tolerance of 12 m/s continuous and 15 m/s gusts, ensure precise handling in variable conditions.

Payload Flexibility
Engineered with a universal payload interface, the IF1200 accommodates a diverse array of equipment. Whether flying Optical Imaging systems, EO/IR sensors, LiDAR arrays, or specialized payloads, operators can tailor missions with confidence. The drone supports a maximum payload of 8.7 kg (19.1 lbs), while adhering to FAA Part 107 weight regulations, and can lift up to 28.7 lbs with appropriate certification. Integrated telemetry provides live data for payload performance and environmental conditions, enhancing mission oversight and situational awareness.

Safety and Compliance
Safety is built into the IF1200 at every level. Featuring SAFE drone technology, the platform maintains controlled flight even in the event of a motor failure, alerting operators while preserving stability. Certified Blue UAS and NDAA compliant, the IF1200 ensures secure and compliant operations for sensitive missions. With service ceilings ranging from 2.2 km (7,200 ft) at maximum payload to 3.9 km (12,800 ft) with moderate payloads, the platform is capable of performing effectively at varying altitudes.

Operational Versatility
The IF1200’s modular, foldable design allows for rapid deployment in diverse environments, from urban landscapes to remote industrial sites. A built-in FPV camera enhances real-time situational awareness, while rugged construction and IP43-rated components allow operations in light rain, dust, and other adverse conditions. Ground control options such as the GS-ONE and Northwest Blue Herelink provide high-resolution interfaces, long-range connectivity, and intuitive mission planning tools for both novice and expert operators.
