Autel Dragonfish Series Safety Mechanisms
GPS Loss Protection - If GPS signal is lost, the Dragonfish will automatically land at it's current location.
Low Battery Protection - When the Dragonfish battery reached the set threshold, the pilot will receive a low battery warning, and the aircraft will start to return home automatically. Once the battery level has reached 15%, the pilot will receive a critical power warning, and the aircraft will automatically land on the spot.
Lost Signal Protection - If communication between the aircraft and the ground station is interrupted, the aircraft will use its GPS signal to return home automatically.


Safety and Redundancy
1. Built Tough: The Aircraft's composite outer shell and carbon fiber core gives the aircraft and wind resistance rating of level 6 and IP43 weather resistance to handle complex environments with ease.
2. Backup Modules: The Dragonfish battery, barometer, positioning system, compass, and IMU all have backup modules to ensure flight safety.
3. Autel Robotics' superior flight control platform guarantees stability and reliability in every flight.
4. Automatic Transition: Dragonfish will automatically transition to multi-rotor mode if adverse conditions cause fixed winged flight to stall or become unsustainable. The dragonfish can automatically choose which mode to fly for the best performance.
5. Internal Communication: Dual-redundant CAN bus communication protects the aircraft from electromagnetic interference and enables the rudder surface and motor status to be monitored in real time.
6. High Quality Sensors: Integrated airspeed velocity sensor monitor the environment in real time, even while buffeted by snow or ice.
7. Attentive AI: Vigilant AI continuously self-checks the system to prevent faults before they occur.

On Board Dual RTK
The Autel Robotics Dragonfish is equipped with 2 RTK modules for added redundancy. By integrating the GNSS Base Station with the RTK modules, the Dragonfish can achieve centimeter accuracy, precise headings and strong anti-magnetic interference capabilities. These modules back up one another and this greatly improves the quality of image metadata for photogrammetry and increases flight precision and safety. Autel Robotics' GNSS Base Station provides centimeter accuracy and supports all 4 major satellite systems.
Autel Voyager
Incredibly powerful yet simple to use, Autel Voyager is the one-stop solution for every mission. Designed specifically for the Dragonfish, the software provides advanced mission planning, intelligent tracking, flight history tracking, and other autonomous features.

• Mission Planning: Waypoint missions, polygon missions, and rectangular missions can be planned offsite prior to mission and started with a single click to begin autonomous flight. The pilot can regain control at any time during the mission for emergency maneuvers or custom flight path planning. • Tap to Fly: Select a target on the camera and the Dragonfish will automatically fly to the selected location and orbit the subject.
• Mission Management: Monitor past missions and assign flights.
• Quick Mission: Set points of interest on the flight map during any part of the mission and the Dragonfish automatically will deviate from its original path plan to pursue the pilot's needs.
