There are many cases in which UAV's are more suitable than airplanes or helicopter.

Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) such as the Scout can be immediately available (especially valuable for remote locations) and deliver high quality aerial imaging, directly controlled by ground personnel. sUAS offer higher accuracy imagery because they can fly lower and slower, are more cost effective (several thousand per month vs. several thousand per hour), and are safer as they remove the human element from potentially dangerous environments such as confined spaces or hazardous environmental conditions.

Yes, Aeryon Labs has designed a system to facilitate educational research. The API has been designed to allow research groups to interface directly with the aerial vehicle.

Yes, Aeryon Labs offers a one or two year warranty which covers any manufacturer defects. Customers are also able to call in for any technical assistance required.

From opening the case to flight takes less than 5 minutes.

Flying is as simple as pressing on a map to indicate where you want to fly. The vehicle will continue to fly to that position until you lift your finger. At that point it will come to a stop and hover. Height control is similar. Press on a slider and the vehicle will climb or descend until you release.

Learning to fly the Aeryon Scout takes merely a few hours. The simplicity of the interface allows individuals to be able to fly after viewing our training video and having practised using the built in simulator. We also offer onsite training, allowing Aeryon personnel to work with you for more practise and personal support.

The two-case configuration of the Aeryon Scout sUAS allows easy separation of 'Mission' and 'Support' cases to enable more flexible deployment.  Each ruggedized case also meets the requirements of most airlines for carry-on luggage, another feature unique to the Aeryon Scout, allowing immediate deployment to any remote location.

The 'Mission' case is also available as a backpack by special order.

Aeryon provides a three-bay battery charger as part of the system. As each battery provides up to 25 minutes of flight time and takes under 60 minutes to charge, the battery charger provides constant availability of batteries regardless of the length of the mission.

A significant benefit of the quad-rotor platform is its mechanical stability and ruggedness. A 4-rotor design maximizes reliability and ease of maintenance.

The Aeryon Scout is almost soundless. At typical flying altitudes it is extremely difficult, if not impossible to hear.

The command tablet may be operated from inside a car. Some vehicles may obstruct communication links and should be tested before operating in this mode.

Aeryon selected a 5 Megapixel camera as it has a better light sensitivity response and lower image noise.  The most important determination to image sharpness in an aerial platform is stabilization - which is why all integrated payloads for the Aeryon Scout are stabilized.  Click here to learn more about 3-axis stabilization of the Photo3S and Photo3S-NIR high resolution still cameras.

For surveying and GIS applications the Scout can achieve ground resolutions up to 1cm/px with a high overlap - allowing image processing into simple 2D orthomosaics, or detailed elevation and 3D models. Click here to learn more about the Aeryon Scout sUAS integrated GIS solution.

Aeryon's GIS Solutions facilitate image processing by off-the-shelf visual or GIS software.  The Aeryon Scout's integrated GIS software, powered by pix4D, allows any customer to easily produce high resolution 2D orthomosaics and maps, 3D and digital elevation models and GIS datasets.

The Aeryon Scout requires no tools to assemble the system and operate it. Components easily latch into place.

During flight all video and still images are stored on the aerial vehicle.  This imagery is usually downloaded between flights - for immediate use, or optionally additional processing such as the creation of 2D orthomosaics and maps, digital elevation and 3D models, etc.

During flight a live video stream is also sent to operator, and may be simultaneously broadcast to other ground or remote personnel.

Setting up a preprogrammed flight path is as straight forward as manual control. Waypoints are set by clicking on the map to indicate points along the path. When in the air, simply switch to waypoint mode, indicate your starting point and Scout takes over piloting. Manual control is always a click away. 

The Scout supports several different map formats and we are adding new ones all the time. Please check with our team to verify support of your map format.

Using the embedded geo-referencing information in the still images captured by the Scout, the pictures can be displayed on the command station for use in subsequent flights. In addition, these images can be used as input to other geomatics and map generation software. 

Yes. While the Aeryon Scout interface is map based, it is not always possible to have maps for every location. As the command station interface provides gridlines (also available with maps) to be displayed. This allows the user to operate based on standard grid pattern.

The current design requires the operator to safely operate around obstacles. New features are being designed to allow the vehicle to autonomously avoid obstacles detected in its flight path.

The distance you can fly away is limited to the battery life. The current design allows for operation within a 3km range.

Through the Scout's unique map based interface, the user is able to fly the aerial vehicle beyond the line of sight, and even in total darkness. The location of the aerial vehicle is indicated on the map.

Joysticks are not required by the Aeryon Scout as the interface allows the user to better manage data collection. If however, there is a need to provide a special interface, the Aeryon Scout has the ability to be controlled through a joystick.

The Aeryon Scout system is scalable, and has been designed to allow users to fly multiple aerial vehicles simultaneously.

Yes, the Scout can support other languages. Please indicate your language preference at time of quote.

Yes, the Scout output video is designed to be streamed across existing networks for distribution to additional locations.

The software that controls the system from the ground has been designed to operate on different touch screen systems. Please contact Aeryon to discuss integration with your existing systems.

Yes. Depending on the import and export laws of your country, varying levels of encryption and security can be enabled on all communication links.

Yes, the Scout has an interface that meets the Stanag 4586 interface requirements.

At present Aeryon offers a daylight combination video and still camera, a 10x optical zoom camera as well as a thermal FLIR imaging sensor payload. We can provide custom sensor payloads for unique or new applications.

Aerial vehicles are subject to wind. With a stabilized camera, the impact of wind is automatically compensated for increasing the quality of the recorded video and still images.

Changing payloads takes less than a minute. The system will automatically detect which payload is being used and make the required changes to the system.

Aeryon provides customization services that allow us to design custom payloads to meet your needs. If you have a requirement for a payload please contact Aeryon to discuss your needs.

The Photo 3S produces high quality still images and live video for precision imaging applications. The VideoZoom10x adds a stabilized ten times optical zoom capability specialized for use in real time reconnaissance and identification problems. The FLIR imaging system produces thermal images in the dark ensuring the Scout is deployable at any time of the day.

When communications between the operator and the aerial vehicle is lost, the command station will alert the user to the condition. The aerial vehicle will travel to a position to try to re-establish communications. If communications cannot be re-established, the aerial vehicle will respond in one of three ways, depending on the options set by the user. The aerial vehicle can return home, land in place, or if in waypoint mode, can continue it`s flight as programmed.

To ensure safe operation of the system, the Scout has built in features that continually inform the user if current conditions are too extreme for safe operation of the vehicle. However, the Aeryon Scout has been ruggedized and weather sealed as necessary to operate in windy, rainy and dusty environments. The Scout provides uncompromised flight performance in high winds, high altitudes and extreme temperature ranges.

To ensure that the operators primary job - that of gathering the information required is satisfied, Aeryon has built in SMART systems. These systems range from monitoring the systems battery levels, wind conditions and communication links to the user. They allow for safe operation of the system.

The Aeryon Scout is designed to return to the location it launched when the system detects low battery. Scout continually monitors its battery status and the power required to return home and land safely.
