Aeromapper Talon Amphibious
Aeromapper Talon Amphibious proudly supports conservation efforts in Marine Protected Areas against illegal fishing.
The Amphibious version of the Aeromapper Talon allows maritime operations by autonomously belly landing on water. It’s the perfect solution for aerial observation, data collection and mapping thanks to its dual camera set up and video link range up to 20kms.
The Aeromapper Talon Amphibious is a Transport Canada Compliant drone.
Up To 1.5 hr Endurance
BVLOS Capable (+30 km link range)
20 Mp Stills
40 Km/h Wind Resistance
Long Range Links (+30Kms)
Why Choose The Aeromapper Talon Amphibious
Expand your operations like never before by using lakes, rivers, and oceans as airfields.
Pack the Aeromapper Talon Amphibious drone on a boat and head to those islands that were impossible to map before, or survey along 30km of coastline that were unreachable by land, monitor the amount of algae that spread over the lake or finally get to survey that impenetrable marshland, or search those bird populations with its real-time video system.
How does it work? The Aeromapper Talon Amphibious is fully waterproof, and its simply unsinkable. Its extreme buoyancy keeps the flotation line low, all its access doors and ports are cleverly designed to keep water out. Even in the rare case of water ingestion, all components are adequately protected against water, including salt water. Its internal design has evolved for more than 2 years and now offers even better protection and weight savings, which translates into better flight performance, more endurance and super-easy maintenance if required.
The drone allows for easy operation thanks to its autonomous take off upon hand launch, autonomous navigation, and auto land.
Best of all, forget about paying an arm and a leg for a dependable – portable amphibious drone that are usually only a luxury of military budgets. The Aeromapper Talon amphibious comes in an affordable package and its components are modular and future-proof. Its rugged and durable construction allows for repeated use and tough handling and still being very easy to repair in the field.
Capture 20Mp stills or HD video facing down, or add the optional forward-looking camera with long range real-time video link of exceptional image quality. The forward-looking camera can be panned from the hand-held remote control to look sideways and lock on points of interest by loitering the UAV around them. The standard range of the video signal is 15-20 Km but it can be extended to 40km using our 24 dBi parabolic antenna (optional).
The forward-looking camera system comes complete and ready to use, including the heavy-duty Ground Control Station, with 10’’ LCD monitor and diversity receiver.
Best of all, you can still parachute down on dry land when required. The Aeromapper Talon Amphibious version also features our standard long-range capabilities for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations) (+30Km control and telemetry links).
Talon Amphibious Key Features
Patrol large areas easily with the waterproof real-time video system with a link range of 20kms, extendable to 40km with parabolic antenna (Ask us for details). The system is delivered with a complete Ground Control Station.
The Aeromapper Talon Amphibious also includes long-range capabilities for BVLOS operations (Beyond Visual Line of Sight, +30Km control and telemetry links). Additionally, it is now equipped with an ADS-B module: the drone reports live the location and altitude of nearby manned aircraft so all operators can safely share airspace.
The Aeromapper Talon Amphibious has a waterproof rating of IP67 (dust tight and protected against immersion). Even in the event of water ingestion, the internal components are individually protected. The system is made to last and support abuse in tough marine environment.
Fly far with confidence: if you are flying Beyond Visual Line of Sight or in extreme conditions such as high winds the Aeromapper Talon can also be equipped with a convenient Locator beacon (optional). Alternatively, the UAV reports to the GCS the last known coordinates.
Operate in offshore, flooded areas, rivers, lakes, from a moving boat, without ever setting foot on land. Easily hand-launch from any boat and recover easily from the water.
“Its improved design and our philosophy of constant improvement has made the Aeromapper Talon Amphibious the trusted drone for long range marine operations from both land and vessels, for several organizations around the globe. When the crews are out in the middle of the ocean they need a dependable machine that works. That is the role the Aeromapper Talon Amphibious serves.”
