GNSS Loss Protection
When operating in non-GNSS environments, the UAV activates landing protection, automatically descending from its current position to ensure safety.
Intelligent Low-Battery RTH
Users can customize the expected landing battery level. The UAV calculates the optimal return timing in real-time based on current battery levels and flight status, ensuring it lands with a battery level close to the user-defined threshold.
Auto RTH on Signal Loss
If signal between the UAV and the ground station is interrupted, signal-loss protection is enabled. If GNSS signals are available, the UAV initiates automatic RTH.
Emergency Manual Override
In case of an emergency, you can switch the remote controller to M mode at any time to immediately take manual control, ensuring flight safety.
Payload
The Dragonfish-25 can be freely equipped with a range of class-leading EO/MWIR payloads such as the DG-T5 and DG-T5L, breaking through lighting limitations to enable simple all-weather operations.
