ADS-B Receiver
The Dragonfish is equipped with an integrated ADS-B receiver, providing operators with real-time information about the position, altitude, and speed of incoming manned aircraft to significantly enhance flight safety.
RTK Accuracy
Map with confidence using Dragonfish's dual RTK (Real-Time Kinetic) modules, which provide centimeter-accurate location data in conjunction with a GNSS base station. The dual modules back up each other's data for added security, improving image metadata quality and increasing flight precision and safety.
Interchangeable Payload System
Handle any mission with a variety of payload options that can be easily swapped based on mission requirements. Dragonfish payloads are designed to be interchangeable across aircraft classes, maximizing value and enhancing system mission capabilities.

Autel Voyager – One Device, Every Mission
Autel Voyager is incredibly powerful yet easy to use, providing a comprehensive solution for every mission. Specifically designed for the Dragonfish, it offers advanced mission planning, intelligent tracking, flight history tracking, and other autonomous features.
Mission Planning
Waypoint, polygon, and rectangular missions can be externally planned and initiated with a single click to launch autonomous flights. Pilots can take control during missions for emergency maneuvers or custom flight routes.
Tap-to-Fly
Select a target on the camera, and the Dragonfish will automatically fly to the location and orbit the subject.
Mission Management
Monitor past missions and assign flights.
Quick Missions
Set points of interest mid-mission, and the Dragonfish will deviate from its original flight path to meet the pilot's needs.
Compact and Portable
The Dragonfish's innovative quick-release design and rapid self-test make it flight-ready in under 5 minutes.
- The Dragonfish can be easily disassembled by one person and fits into the trunk of any average car. The entire system can be assembled without tools and is flight-ready in less than 5 minutes.
- The system performs a self-test in just 5 seconds.

Safety Mechanisms
GPS Loss Protection
If the GPS signal is lost, the aircraft automatically lands at its current location.
Low Battery Protection
When the aircraft's battery reaches the set threshold, the pilot receives a low-battery warning, and the aircraft begins returning home. At 15% battery, the aircraft issues a critical power warning and lands at its current location.
Signal Loss Protection
If communication between the aircraft and ground station is interrupted, the aircraft automatically returns home using its GPS signal.
