The Vantage Robotics Trace UAS Public Safety Pro is a compact, high-performance nano drone designed for professional operations in public safety, emergency response, and security applications. Weighing just 215 g, with a flight time of up to 36 minutes and a maximum speed of 52 km/h, it offers exceptional flexibility for demanding missions. The integrated Wisp Advanced camera system combines a high-resolution 48 MP EO camera with 25x digital zoom and a 640 × 480 pixel thermal imaging sensor, enabling reliable observation during both day and night operations.
Equipped with a 2.3–2.4 GHz radio system, the Trace UAS Public Safety Pro provides a transmission range of up to 5 km under line-of-sight conditions. GPS-denied navigation up to 30 m, intelligent flight functions, and AES-256 encryption support secure and flexible operations in complex environments. With an IP53 protection rating, wind resistance of up to 25 knots, and the Vision2 Ground Control Station, the drone is particularly suitable for search and rescue missions, situational awareness, and security surveillance.

Notes
The maximum flight time of 36 minutes is measured while hovering in still air. Actual flight time may vary depending on operating conditions.
The maximum radio range of 5 km applies under line-of-sight conditions, at an altitude of approximately 122 m (400 ft), and in an uncongested RF environment.
The IP68 protection rating applies to the transport cases. The aircraft itself has an IP53 ingress protection rating.
The Public Safety Pro configuration includes the Wisp Advanced EO/LWIR camera system with a 640 × 480 pixel thermal imaging sensor and the 2.3–2.4 GHz radio system.
