Superwake SW-117

With the capability of multi-day missions and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operation, the SW-117 RPAS is well suited for pre-planned long-duration aerial imaging or sensing missions over vast areas of land or ocean. Contact us to find out if the SW-117 RPAS is suited for your application.

Wildfire Detection & Monitoring
Using infrared imaging, detect and monitor wildfires over large, remote regions in real-time.

Wildlife Conservation
Use aerial imaging and machine learning to identify and count wildlife populations semi- or fully- autonomously.

Forest Resource Inventory
Use aerial photogrammetry and RTK GPS to conduct FRI operations autonomously.

Long-Term Surveillance
Monitor remote areas of land and sea autonomously using aerial imaging with object-detection and tracking algorithms.

Starlink onboard.

Starlink Mini onboard means no radio line of sight restrictions. You can fly in any terrain and control the SW-117 and payload from anywhere in the world.
