The Vanguard, our most popular UAV, is a long range
surveillance drone with a 35km range and a flight time
of 94min. The Vanguard drone system is our solution to
security and surveillance needs. It is also ideal for
inspection and detection where fine detail such as
cracks and signs of wear are needed.
The Vanguard has dual camera configuration which
gives you the ability to see what the Vanguard sees in
real time and allows you to interchange between the
two cameras while in flight. The Thermal camera allows
you to detect objects, which you can then zoom in on
when switching to the 10x Optical Zoom camera. And
with a first-of-its-kind dual antenna tracking station, the
Vanguard provides the clearest image even when it has
been pushed to its limits!
The Vanguard includes a highly advanced but easy to
use software package that allows the operator to plan,
control and fly the mission in the safest and most
efficient way possible. Automated drone control,
airspace alerts, manned aircraft locations and weather
advisories are all at your fingertips when using our
system. The software allows the operator to easily
preprogram flight paths where certain areas or obsta-
cles must be avoided. The system can also be used to
set boundaries and specify the altitude and speed that
the Vanguard must operate at. And you can also
program the drone to circle a point of interest or hover
at a specific point.
