Aeromapper Talon

The Aeromapper Talon is our best-selling fixed-wing mapping drone. This sUAS turnkey system is ideal for ultra-accurate data collection, scouting, monitoring, mapping, and surveying thanks to its swappable payloads. Among the payloads available is the Emlid Reach M2 multi-band PPK UAV Mapping kit, up to 61 MP RGB mapping camera, Micasense Rededge P, Micasense Altum, and Long Range digital video downlink system for surveillance and patrolling. But it does not stop there as our Aeromapper Talon is highly customizable with other sensors.

Its 2hr maximum endurance and high wind resistance allow users to triple their productivity when comparing to other sub-1Kg drones which require constant landings between missions to swap the batteries and can’t fly is moderate to strong winds.

The Aeromapper Talon can operate in tight areas thanks to its parachute system and simplicity of hand launches. Its field-proven long-range communications link enables users to fly as far as 30kms away from the launch location, making it ideal for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) missions, having strong telemetry and control links.

The Aeromapper Talon features ADS-B: the drone reports live the location and altitude of nearby manned aircraft so all operators can safely share airspace.

The Aeromapper Talon is a Transport Canada compliant drone.

Why Choose The Aeromapper Talon

The Aeromapper Talon offers the easiest way to achieve ultra-accurate data for surveying, photogrammetry & mapping, DEMs, orthomosaics, point clouds and more with exceptional image resolution and high accuracy. The Aeromapper Talon takes five minutes to get ready in the field and flies fully autonomously after it is hand launched, and lands via parachute recovery or automatic belly landing. Now available with the new Sony ILX-LR1 61mp mapping camera. This impressive fixed wing drone offers up to 2 hours of maximum endurance it its standard configuration. Its airframe is made in durable EPO foam body (not Styrofoam) and reinforced with carbon fiber, providing many years of use and abuse.

The Aeromapper Talon can cover up to 8 Km2 (800 has = 1,970 acres) per flight at 400ft agl at an impressive ground resolution.

Now the Aeromapper Talon can be ordered with the Emlid Reach M2 PPK UAV Mapping kit, which consists of a multi-band GNSS receiver onboard the aircraft and the Reach RS2, a dual-frequency GNSS base. This kit provides absolutely the best solution for accurate mapping in PPK mode, providing centimeter accuracy on your deliverables with minimal or no Ground Control Points.

All our Aeromapper Talons are now shipped with an integrated ADS-B live air traffic data system, allowing the drone operator to receive flight information from other manned aircraft within a 100km radius. This upgrade provides an unprecedented level of flight safety to your UAV operations. The system receives information such as position, altitude, speed, trajectory and map location which can be viewed in Mission Planner in real time.

Surveillance Payload

Order our HD Long Range video payload to add scouting and observation capabilities to your Aeromapper Talon. Inspect an area of interest from long distances and gather HD video or thermal imagery for later analysis.
