Black Swift E2: Precision in Inspections

The Black Swift E2 is a sophisticated quadcopter designed for high-precision structural and industrial inspections. This UAS operates autonomously, utilizing advanced computer vision and machine learning to navigate complex environments safely and efficiently, delivering real-time, actionable insights.

One of the standout features of the E2 is its payload configuration, wich positions sensors at the front of the aircraft. this design allows for an unobstructed field of view, even during vertical observations. The aircraft’s payload and battery can be easily swapped in the field,with the battery’s position adjustable based on the load. Typical configurations include an RGB camera, laser guidance systems, and radio modems, but the E2 can be tailored to meet specific mission needs, accommodating LiDAR, thermal imaging, multi-spectral cameras, trace gas sensors, and radiometers.

Designed for mobility, the E2 can be compactly folded and stored in a custom carrying case, ensuring ease of transport and protection against damage during travel.

Black Swift S1: A Gateway to Aerial Mapping

The Black Swift S1 is a fully autonomous fixed-wing UAS, perfect for those venturing into commercial mapping and surveying, including aerial photogrammetry. its user-pleasant interface,featuring gesture-based planning,allows users to quickly learn and execute real-world missions.

Ready for immediate deployment, the S1 comes equipped with a Sony a5100 camera and includes all necessary components for conducting survey missions right out of the box. The comprehensive package features the aircraft, batteries, a swiftstation ground control station with a tripod, a tablet running SwiftTab flight management software, a field toolbox, a carrying case, and a control handset.

Launching the S1 is straightforward, as it can be hand-launched, and it incorporates advanced landing algorithms for accurate autonomous belly landings. This platform has successfully conducted mapping missions at altitudes reaching 14,000 feet and is well-suited for surveying, land management, crop damage assessments, and extensive ecological studies.

Black Swift S2: Robust Research Capabilities

The Black Swift S2 is an advanced fixed-wing UAS engineered for scientific research in challenging atmospheric conditions, including high altitudes, corrosive particulates, and turbulent environments. Its durable airframe, high operational ceiling, and extended flight endurance make it capable of autonomous launch, flight, and landing, even in rugged mountainous terrains.

Featuring a user-friendly field-swappable payload system, the S2 houses its sensor suite within the nose cone, positioned ahead of the propeller to ensure clean and uncontaminated atmospheric measurements. With a standardized power, data, and mechanical interface, payloads can be quickly exchanged in the field without specialized tools. This allows for separate field calibration of sensors and the rapid deployment of different sensor suites across successive missions, enhancing the aircraft’s versatility.
