Autel Robotics Dragonfish Nest

Autel Dragonfish Nest | Cover the Frontier

The Autel Dragonfish Nest is the world's first automated eVTOL support system. With a range of up to 75 miles between units, the Autel Dragonfish Nest combines the high performance of the Dragonfish aircraft with autonomous takeoff, landing, charging, and flight mission management — making it the ideal solution for long-range corridor inspections and large-area coverage missions.

• Auto takeoff, landing, and charging
• Intelligent data storage and processing
• Backup power supply
• Pallet-sized for standardized transport

Autel Dragonfish Nest Key Features

The Dragonfish ecosystem provides the only long-range, tilt-wing VTOL solution with fully autonomous capabilities. The Autel Dragonfish Nest enables organizations to cover entire pit mines, oil and gas pipelines, and powerlines across multiple regions — with a 75-mile range that requires fewer docking stations to build and maintain. Flying faster and farther than traditional multi-rotor UAS, it significantly accelerates aerial survey and inspection timelines.

Solution Advantages

• Automatic flight and recharging between missions
• Backup power supply for uninterrupted operations
• Temperature control for all-weather deployment
• Aircraft management and fleet coordination
• Environment and weather monitoring systems
• Real-time monitoring and live data access
