Description
Autel Dragonfish Standard
Next-Gen multi mission eVTOL

The Dragonfish Series UAV is a vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL), tiltrotor aircraft used to provide multi-sensor intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) Services. The Dragonfish is ultraportable, runway independent, and assembles within 5 minutes from case to takeoff. The Dragonfish does not require any additional launch equipment or recovery equipment and can take off and land automatically or manually. Delivering up to 179 minutes of flight time, and a range of up to 45km*, or extended indefinitely with repeaters the system offers class leading performace in endurance and capability. The Dragonfish features a quick release for rapid payload changes, with multiple class leading EO/MWIR sensor options. Industry leading flight control and tracking algorithms make the Dragonfish system operable by a single operator with minimal training necessary.

Dragonfish workflow
Easy and secure transportation
IP-rated integrated transport case, sturdy and reliable, designed to be carried and transported by a single person over both short and long distances.
5 min case to takeoff
Complete assembly within 5 minutes, system self-check in 5 seconds
Intuitive mission planning
Simple target tracking
Efficient execution and control
Emergency manual switch
Switch to manual mode at any time when needed to ensure operational safety.
One-Button return
Easily return to home via the Home button. Convenient Storage: Quickly organize after flight, easy to store and ready for the next use.
Superior anti-interference
In complex environments, the UAV maintains exceptional communication and video transmission performance, featuring strong anti-interference capabilities and stable, reliable transmission.

Quick assembly
The Dragonfish Series features tooless assembly with a 5-second rapid self-check and the ability to take off within 5 minutes.
Smart operations
Autel Robotics’ advanced flight control technology and AI intelligence offers unparalled ease of use and precision.
Intelligent Tracking
The UAV can lock on to its targets and flexibly adjust its flight path. Supports multiple tracking modes.
Tap-to-Fly
Tap on the target in the remote control and the UAV will fly directly to the target area. No sticks required
AI Target Recognition and Positioning
Built-in AI algorithms supports recognition and positioning of a multitude of assets and targets.
Quick mission
Quick missions deviate from the preplanned flight route for changing mission demands.
PinPoint function
Pinpoint areas for temporary observation points, quick missions, or precise emergency landings.
Offsite Landing
In response to low battery or special situations, the UAV can accurately select offsite landing points.
Temporary Mission
Supports quick switching to new waypoint missions during flight.
Terrain Avoidance
Built-in terrain data allows the DF to maintain minimal AGL over changing terrain.
Mobile Platform Takeoff and Landing
Supports takeoff and landing on moving platforms.
One-Tap Self-Check
Automatically performs a system check before takeoff, ensuring every flight is safe and reliable.
Silent flight
The Dragonfish achieves ultra-silent flight through its exceptional propulsion system and innovative noise-reduction design. Barely audible above 400 ft (120m) AGL*, the DF significantly reducing the risk of detection while ensuring operational secrecy.

Safety mechanisms
GNSS loss protection
When operating in non-GNSS environments, the UAV activates landing protection, automatically descending from its current position to ensure safety.
Low battery return
Users can customize the expected landing battery level. The UAV calculates the optimal return timing in real-time based on current battery levels and flight status, ensuring it lands with a battery level close to the user-defined threshold.
Lost-signal return
If signal between the UAV and the ground station is interrupted, the loss-of-connection protection activates. If GNSS signals are available, the UAV initiates automatic return-to-home.
Emergency manual override
In case of an emergency, you can switch the remote controller to M mode at any time to immediately take manual control, ensuring flight safety.
DG-L20T
The Dragonfish Series can be equipped a range class leading EO/MWIR payloads such as the the DG-L20T
